Default 9 dollar clear bra off ebay - anyone?

Hey guys,

There's this seller on ebay selling pre-cut clear bras for like under 30 dollars, and I'm very tempted to get one. I am wonder if anybody has tried these and if they are any good. The seller is xtremecity.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/SCION...mZ120290739812

I have read about the cheap films damaging paint, but at the same time, there is one peron on this forum and a few people on other forums who used and it they seem ok, so I'm trying to decide what to do here.

Any input would be great.

looks good and sounds legit!

even if it needs a little trimming to fit perfectly, i dont think it would hurt to try

be the ginny pig, take the plunge

well, there's an xb on this site that has this same bra on there.

But I'm still debating though.

That's why I was pondering the company name. There is no way someone could profit off a 3M clear bra that costs 10 dollars.
I saw this on an older car that went through our detail shop. It didn't have a vinyl on it but it showed a bit of the aftermath when it did. There had to be some kind of chemical agent in the so called 'adhesive' vinyl that reacted over time to the outdoor elements.
When it comes to my car's paint, I never ever cheap out on products.

well its the same process of tinting windows, pretty easy. actually easier, because you don't have to kill your self making it perfect when its already cut for you.
