I just wash my car 1-2 times per week. Also keep it waxed so the bugs come off easier.

I gotta friend that works at M.I.
I'm looking into that clear vynil that they custom cver the front facia with-- not only for bugs, but for rock chips too. I'd HATE to see my rs1 chipped up!

I'll post back when I get a quote.

I've seen it on a WRX and it looks like nothing is on your ride!

So how hard is it to clean the bugs off of the bra? It almost seems like washing the paint would be easier bug-wise, although the rockchips are the main reason i want a bra...

Even the 3M clear stuff won't minimize the bugs you're gonna kill

That's become my new nickname for my box - BugKilla :twisted:

Looks good Munch. I am thinking I might like it if it covered the entire bumper area, but not the hood or upper grill. I would add a bug deflector when it becomes availiable for there.

For some reason bugs seem to be attracted to my scion. When I return to my parked cars i always find these bugs just hanging out on my car. what is up with that??? :roll:

What brand is that? Do you think I can get one that just covers the bumper area? Or is it just a matter of not putting on the upper piece?

The piece that is on the hood was extra. You can just get the part that covers the bumper.

It looks better than chipped up paint from highway driving. That's the only time I put mine on my car :wink: .

Munch, where did you buy it and how much was it?

I have a PW so am not sure how it would look (even without the hood part). Does it come in any other colors? I'm more concerned with adding protection (I have the 3M clear bra).

Thanks,
