Default Clear Bra

I have been reading about a lot about GT500 owners putting on a clear bra when they get their vehicles. I recently got a 2010 GT500 and had some questions about the clear bra. What all can you cover in the front. Can you see it. And is it worth doing. Also what is the cost to have it installed.
Thanks

It is worth getting price could be 600-800. Typically they cover the front end some of the fenders and hood. It is worth it if you plan on keeping the car for a while. If you drive aggresively you definetly want it because in a year your bumper will have lots of little holes chips from hitting insects to getting sand blasted. Spend the extra money

I have a clear bra on my complete front bumper, front portion of the hood (up to the vents) and front portion of the fenders. Cost was $500 for materials & labor.

Most people don't even notice it, but up close you can see leading edges.

Definitely recommend.

I don't have a GT500 but I have mine done as well. Cost $450 plus tax and well worth it in my opinion...

Most people have to go and look when I tell them I have it to see if I'm kidding or not
