I have half bra on my xA. I think it gives more appearance to silver paint. So far I haven't seen the paint fade yet.

I noticed this on another thread^^^^Maybe it IS smart to buy a front end mask from the beginning. I see these posts alot but nobody seems to notice them.

i've heard that the clear bra, such as the one by 3m, will start to crack and/or peel when exposed to heat/sun. has anyone had problems with the clear bra peeling off in the corners or cracking?

Ive seen some car shows with cars that had peeling off clear bras. It still didn't look to bad though. Never seen cracks.

Rock chips, bug stains and scratches are ugly.

Fully agreed. My car is just barely 2.5 months old and I have a bunch of rock chips in my front bumper. I'm gonna snag a bra soon enough.

Back in the 70's, my grandmother used to use one of these

http://www.amazon.com/Fia-Grille-Win...8&s=automotive

The one she had was "universal." The ones on amazon seem to be custom fitted, but I havn't dug around that much. Maybe y'all can find one that fits the tC pretty well.

It never seemed to do any damage to the paint.
