Default front end mask for road trips only

I have a White TC. For roadtrips, is it worth it to get a clear bra or should the mask be good enough?

the mask is fugly, have a custom tint shop install a real nice clear-bra custom cut for the TC, the front end is a major, major problem for something like a clearbra so a professional would be the right one to put it on all nice and you could just leave it on permenantly

oh, and the front mask tears up your paint when moisture, dirt, dust or just space gets under there and the leather rubs against your paint like sandpaper, there was a silver streak mica pic on here where he took off the mask and the whole front end looked like it was sandpapered. dunno about you, but I'd rather have a few chips in the paint rather than an entirely ruined hood.

But that's if you leave it wet and dirty for a little while. Don't leave the bra on w/out cleaning for a few weeks at a time.As long as you take it off and clean the underbra part.

it's a thick plastic film that is cut and molded onto the paint of the car to protect it from nicks, scratches and rocks etc. it does the same exact thing as a front end mask except that is is clear and permanently affixed (unless you peel it off on purpose, like window tint) and can't be noticed at all after being applied to the car unless you are specifically looking for it and look at the seam where the clear bra ends and the paint of the vehicle begins.

same result, less ugliness.

I would invest in a 3M clear bra.
