if i had a white car, i wouldn't do the clear bra.

i'd rather touch up paint chips.
it's white, it's gonna be easy to touch up. and it's gonna be barely noticeable.

putting too much crap on the car just creates more headache.

Yeah,but the problem is it isn't a white car.
It's 3 stage paint pearl and touch up doesn't match.
I had a crystal pearl white IS and touch up looked as bad as the stone chip.

sorry for the ignorant question. what's the bra for.... prevents paint chips from rocks/dirt? easier to clean off the bugs? breasts too large?

you obviously have never driven your car in a desert, you'll be touching up your car every 2 days, and with our starfire pearl, you'll need a base coat (white) and another for the pearly effects and it'll just look nasty.. period

this is my bmw after 1 year of driving in AZ, you want to help me touch this up?

LOL! think clear protector film for cell phone but large enough to cover the entire front end of the car to prevent rock chips for many years to come
