Sometimes the bras can do more damage than good.
If any kind of dirt or sand gets between the bra and the paint it could really damage your paint. So if you get it you need to rinse it frequently.

Unless you are using it for long trips or something they really don't seem to be worth it.
Plus, IMHO it ruins the lines of the front end.

No. Such an ironic thing to put on a car. The paint is on the car, essentially to look good and protect the surface. Then you put a bra on, which looks awful, to protect the protection.

I just don't understand the logic behind that.

A bra for you car? I say no. A bra is what your GF wears. A bra is what surfer junkies call you.

But a car bra? I hate the thought of this oxymoronic concept.

That's because you should have looked closer that night in the bar, adam's apple on a "woman" = bad m'kay?.

My opinion is that they can make it look a bit sleeker on certain cars, but usually cause more problems as Tanner mentions, and if your car is not garage kept, well, tan lines are hot on women, not cars.

One or two of the chips from stones I might have avoided with one on the front of my hood, but I'd still have many that would be missed with one on the car as well....so, pointless IMO from a non-aesthetic view.

No, it ruins the lines of the car. Plus, for the money to get a good one, you can just wait and repaint the front bumper if it gets chipped badly.

Is this effective at protecting against rock chips? That is something I already have on my car.
