As long as you don't get the chip on your shoulders, I say you're cool.

+1 for the clear bra...best money I spent for my Mustangs!

I should have gotten a clear bra on my '03 cobra.....the poor thing got mutilated on the drive back from Sarasota. Either weak paint or it just wants a cowl hood.

Sounds to me like the hood was repainted with crappy materials.

Also, we all know that you want a cowl hood, because, IT don't know any better

It shouldn't chip that easy, unless you're following a dump truck or something...

Are clear bras really worth it? (On a car, that is. On a woman, it'd be priceless!) I've always considered getting it done to my cars, but two things stop me. One, I just can't bring myself to pay $300+ for some plastic taped to my car. And two, I worry about discoloration and mismatched finish when I Zaino the car. What say you users, about my concerns?
