Default Clear bra's

Has anyone used or knows of a place to order a clear bra? My scion really needs it since it attracts rocks like crazy. I do alot of highway driving also. I found this place:

http://www.rvinyl.com/bumperprotecti...n/xb_2008.html

Is there any difference with the 2008 bumper and the 2010?

I haven't heard of that particular clear bra before. It just seems a little too cheap, you know?

But anyway, there is no difference between the 2008 and 2010 models as far as bumpers are concerned.

If you do purchase this product and install it, please let us know here at ScionLife how that works out for you. We're always looking for great deals.

Awesome thanks! I thought about doing it myself. The 2 places Ive called around town are a bit pricey ($795 installed and $529). I got 1 more place to call if not ill just end up doing it myself.

I have been debating the clear bra, but have received some mixed opinions from different installers. Some say it will yellow and the jury is still out. Some say it is fantastic. What are everyone's thoughts on these?

I have the clear bra on my super white...and it definitely has yellowed - in some spots quite noticeable. My dealer says that I don't take care of it (have to wash weekly and clean the bra with special cleaner). He states that it is due to the oils on the road being picked up. I have strips behind my rear tires that I am going to remove as they are the worst. That being said, I am very glad that I got the bra - it works great! At almost 2 years of driving backroads, highway and dirt roads, no chips. It may be just fine for non-white cars. I paid $850 with installation

I wonder if it would yellow or discolor on black. Anyone with a clear bra on black?

Not sure if this is the case or not, but I imagine the clear bra material is similar or the same as the InvisibleShield or BestSkinsEver etc etc. If that's the case then YES it will yellow, but in my experience it's only when it starts to lift. I have had the aforementioned products on my cell phones, and while they do work to protect things, they also tend to lift around the edges and then turn yellow. Just my experience. It could be a completely different material altogether? Anybody out there who has the clear bra and also have the gadget protectors would probably know for sure though.
