Those big leather things strapped onto the nose of your car that belong in the 1980's and 90's? Gross.

3M has this fancy clear protective film you can buy that protects the paint from gravel, sand, salt, track tar, concrete barriers, children, wives, asteroids, nuclear fall-out, and bird dirt... and is completely clear and unnoticeable.

Would never use them on anything. They do more damage than the normal threat of rock chips. The steady friction of bra movement and dust getting behind the cover will damage the paint and the rest of the car will sun fade to a certain extent and under the bra will not so if you want to take it off , you will see a difference. The answer is no but because they also look sloppy.

I have one because the shop that worked on my car totally messed up the paint on the front clip and will not repair it. no way around it, they will not. im missing pieces of paint. so the white clip with big black spots doesn't look good.

i showed them pics of it before they worked on it and then showed them the car as it was in the parking lot. they denied it even with pic evidence. and the cost of an attorney exceeds the cost to paint it. so im in a sense screwed.

I don't know much about law, but if you win, can't you recover legal fees? Or, isn't there small claims court for this sort of thing where you could represent yourself?

I have the stretchy one on my car. takes about a minute to put on or take off. I think it makes a good different in the number of stone chips and bugs. I do a lot of miles in the car and at 99 bucks plus shipping I think it is well worth the investment.

They look good on the manniquinns at Victoria's Secret, but that's about it for my taste.

So I'll just say I hate bra's of ALL types...

We should have a section for this

I recall a GIF with a girl demonstrating the vast difference between her assets with and without shirt and bra... I assume this was among your stash?

Post up, don't be scared.


I don't like them looks wise at all. But i'm considering one of those easy on easy off bra's only for long trips. A few weeks ago i drove out of town to a corvette event and couldn't believe how many bugs were stuck on my front bumper and headlight covers. It sure would make cleaning up less of a hassle and protect a bit against rock chips or road debris.

I can see then if needed to protect a show car or a car with exceptional paint, but have never cared for how jewelry on cars looks. Most of the extra stuff, looks just like that, extra stuff the design doesn't need. In this case, it doesn't just look like a stick on, it is a stick on.

However, with the right kind of spinner hub caps, and a satin members only jacket, you could hook up a sweet looking combo.

I am considering the 3M treatment for a very long trip. Around town, I don't see the necessity.
