Where to find a bra just for trips
I am taking a little trip and I can't afford a clear bra now so I think a regular bra (black ugly bras) would work just fine. I would only use it for this trip until I can get a nice clear bra. Anyone know where to get one.

The blue painters tape leaves no sticky residue. I have used it a few time and it works great!

I guess if someone were leasing...
for 3 years and didn't want any extra expense of protection for the long term. Clear Bras are the latest of a history of protective ideas and insurances. When I got my wife a Black RX300 there was a ding insurance policy that was available. I passed as I know the vendors and could have them work on my car anytime. Wouldn't you know my wife passed through a freak hail storm about the 3rd day of driving and put about 6 craters into the roof sheet metal and hood! Her front hood has quite a few pock marks from highway gravel now at 94,000 miles. The next Lexus will definitely get the Clear Bra as it eliminates the most common sign of age on the car. If you finance the car then the increase in payment is less than $20 a month for 60 months. It might be $25-30 month in a lease payment and unless you were going to purchase out at the end the benefit might be enjoyed by the next owner. There is a great variance in the art of installing clear bras which is a wet process and must be done rather swiftly or it starts to dry. Some will stretch the material to make it cover a round surface. The use of an Xacto knife near the paint surface must be done with care.. I don't recommend that the average Lexus owner do this themselves unless they just want to cover the headlights or a small area. It definitely takes practice. Once the application becomes more commonlplace the price should start to come down due to competitive pressure. Lexus is starting to offer their own version and many stores are training the detail crew to do the installs instead of a vendor. Quality of install will vary greatly as a result...
The old bra idea is dying out and the cost is quite high unless a pool of owners on Club Lexus made a group buy or shared a bra and FEDEX it to the other when needed but that would have its own hassles.
