Default clear bra

I do a lot of highway miles on my tC and i have a few chips in it already.

Hell, I drove 80 miles with a 1 inch diameter x 1 foot long branch lodged in my bumper that a dully in front of me kicked up. (if the interest is there, i'll take a pic or two when i get out of work)

Im looking to see if any body has it and if they recommend it or any other preventive measures that you have taken.

How much would these cost and where would i be able to pick one up.

Thanks SL

just keep your car clean and its not really noticable. i mean you'll see the edge slightly. everyone thinks its a scratch when your car gets a little dirty. but if you're like me.. have a black tc, drive in a desert, and 30k miles a year.. its worth it

I wash my car at least twice a week so no problem there.

Im guessing this is pretty durable huh? The one thing I would hate to see is it start peeling.

so how long have you had it hunter? any regrets?

very durable. i had my bumper one replaced after it uhh.. ran into another car haha... and just to see how good it was, i took a key to it. nothing. not a mark. ive had it on 2 years now and no signs of anything wrong with it.

i think if it peels they warranty it. depends on where you go anyway

I have a clearbra on both my M3 and tC. They are made by venture shield. I used to have 3M on my Supra, but so far the venture shield is holding up much better and has a lifetime warranty on bubbling/peeling from where I got it installed at. I had the entire hood, front bumper, side mirrors, partial front fenders, and door edges done for $700 for each car. IMO, it's one of the best investments I've made. No rock chips and you can't even notice it.
