I appreciate your comments and they are RIGHT ON. The ONLY time I have the bra on the car is when we are on a trip. I take my chances around our local area and that has worked out O.K.

Even on a trip I take it off and clean it as there is always some dirt that gets under it. I have a Colgon and It has padded fastners except for the ones that are under the hood out of sight. IMHO they are the best there is and well worth the few extra dollars they cost. We have a Le Bra for the wife's Jeep and the only reason I'm not replacing it is we plan to replace it with an X5, which will have a Colgon

I agree with the obvious protection a bra provides, yet I must make one comment. If you're not diligent is removing the bra regularly to wash it, the dust, dirt and gravel that sits between the bra and your clearcoat will act like sandpaper. Our family owned a 95 Cavalier with a full bra. We took it off every other month to clean under it, but the clear coat still ended up cloudy and badly scratched in places.

Also, watch out for metal hooks on the bra, they rust and scratch as well.
