Default clear bra on dark color car

Hello,

What's your opinion on putting clear bra on dark color car? Would the line show like more compare to the light color car?

if you do half hood, the line will eventually show, especially after dusts or so start to settle over time.

that's also why i did full hood

Im not a fan of it at all I ve seen quite a few and they usally only do half the hood and you can see the line plain as day. They also have a texture to them like orange peel if you would, that I personally don t like. Another thing if you have to pay someone to do it around here its almost as expensive as having the hood and bumper repainted anyway. I know some will say "oh that depreciates the value of the car!" I ve already had to paint it so I d rather repaint it again!!! JMO....

P.S. if you do get it whatever you do don t wax over the transition from clear bra to paint you ll have a white line across your car!! It really looks awesome!
