I LOVE the 3M Clear Bra, by far the best choice to protect the front of any car.

This is our 2nd car to have the Clear Bra and we have been stone chip free for many years.

Default 200 miles a day

Back in the day i had a Dodge daytona turbo z. This was a first generation turbo. It was a pig in the low end but was pretty fast in the mid range and high end. ANYWAY it looked good and I never took it off. It did ruin the paint. Reguardless I left it on for the 7 years i had the car. I have had a 2006 tc for 8 months and it has almost 40000 on it. I drive a long way to work, to be able to work for the DOD. The 80 miles eachway i have made once in 38 min. BTW perelli tires melt and get stretch marks at 130. I bought this car strictly to make this daily run as the XA had a tough time with it. I have taken MANY hits took the front of the TC. I had to put steel grills on it because a semi -retread took out both of the fog lights. I know i will eventually kill this car on this run but I have a friend at work that has the same motor in a toyota PU and it has 400000 with no major repairs on it. I will probably buy the next generation TC before this dies anyway. My advise is buy it if you like the looks. I have to take off the front ground effects to put it on. Cars are a temporary thing anyway, and your fooling yourself if you think different. By the time your paintjob is screwed from the bra , so will the paint on the rest of the car anyway. Repaint.

Thanks LordEvil, It doesn't look too bad but definitely noticable. What are you planing on doing about the chips? Painting? Lets see some more pictures, there has to be worse than that.
