Clear Bra is extremely expensive. I looked into it. Here's the text from the email explaining what it covers and how much it costs:

Hello Mike,
Thank you for your interest in AeroTect. The cost to protect your scion tc is $567.94. This price includes protection for your hood, fenders, mirrors, bumper, sales tax and installation. We use the newest 3M paint protection film available.Both your film and your installation come with a 5 year warranty. Your scion will take about 3 hours to install and you will need an appointment.

Thanks again,
Jeanne / AeroTect
(866) 388-AERO
But if you have the money, and you plan on keeping your tC for a long time, definitely get one!

my chips come from passing by 16 wheelers...

I try to pass them quickly but people drive too slow down here...can't pass quickly enough.

I regret not being more careful with the silver plastic center console pieces and hu, they got scratched up while sitting on the floor in back when I was installing my hu. Its not that I was rough with them, on the contrary I was VERY gentle, the finish is just super delicate.

Toyota really cut corners on our paint. It sucks and chips if you just stare at it the wrong way.

I regret not going forced induction first. Spent as much on small improvement mods as a turbo would have cost.

i regret letting my gf drive my car.... she went into the garage at a really bad angle and scratched passenger side door, then tried to back out and made it worse... all i could do is sit there and watch in pain.

i also regret parking my car outside in a rainstorm, because it started to hail, ***** of ice larger then a marble... who knew it could hail so badly in southern california.. this was like 2 years ago.. it left a nice little dent on my hood...

Ditto on buying the tc in the first place, i was on the waiting list for a 06 si, got impatientBUT, on the other hand the more i see the less i like that cr from any angle, i traded a 03 wrb wrx for the tc after months of searching for another wrx in my area. I still fall in love with the tc everytime i see it, just lose some when i drive it lol, oh well its a love hate relationship.BTW my g/f just wrecked it the other day and the insurance money gets me a bodykit so im not mad at her anymore...

Haha. Yep this car is like my new hobby. I could get rich if I got a dollar for everytime I pop the hood on my ride.

There is always something that needs some attention. But it's cool cause the wife has something new to poke fun at me with. She always laughs, cause after I park it I inspect my distance to other cars/objects -and when I come back I always inspect for door dings

I regret not getting a manual...and the time I tried to turn sharp while going 40 and there was a puddle (from sprinklers)...That was stupid...but with no water that would have been no problem

im already at that point, seems that someone seriously hates me.........every week theres a new scratch of some sort on my car or ding on my doors from retards not being careful when they park next to me.........


things i regret doing to my car:
definately getting the MMW header......holy crap the raspy noises are not worth the 20 or so HP gain especially since i plan on gettin turbo......
i also regret not getting the other spoiler scion offers.....
AND
i regret using touch up paint provided by scion to paint over some scratches that were on my car.......it looks horrible now in the spots i painted
