Default Just a thought...

I see bunches of posts about the front bumpers gettin chipped up, which sux. But I don't see anybody talkin bout gettin a clear-bra put on I had every forward-facing surface I could find done the day after I got it, and the only scratch I've got is from some a$$hat in a parking lot on my door. The money it costs to get the bra done is WELL worth it in the long run.

Just my $.02

Bras = the ugly

Clay bar + triple wax weekly is the solution... maybe?

Fuzzy, Clear bras can barely be seen when installed well. Not the kinda bra you're thinking of.

Ands there's been LOTS of talk about it on here. We got members like "clear bra guy" and "RockBlocker" that do this stuff professionally, I'm sure there are others.

The thing I see with it is that it needs to get done sooner rather than later and by the time most people realize they could've used it, it's too late to put it on and have it be effective.

The topic, thought and idea of a "Clear Bra" are gaining strength in the community that is for sure. A lot of has to do with knowledge, experience and self testing by the consumers. We do a lot of clear bras in AZ and are working with other regions such as Mid-Atlantic and SoCal right now.

If anyone has any questions about the product please feel free to let us know or you can do a search on "rockblocker" to see what others have to say about it as well.

Yeah it's all well and good for you if you're already well-aware of the Scions' paint problems when buying the car. However, if you're like me and many others on here who bought the tC the first or second month it came out (over a year ago now), we lucky ones got screwed out of that knowledge.

Therefore, we have to muster up the oh $1100 or so it will cost to repaint the hood and front bumper and fenders and have it blended back into the sides of the car. Only then we can really start worrying about spending the other hundreds of dollars its going to cost to add the ClearBra. Just my "$.02" on the subject. Something to think about.
