BUDDY...

those ****in bumper bra things **** paint up...

although they prevent chips from rocks etc,

THEY CAUSE your paint to crack and turn to crap... the reason is that water gets stuck between the bra and the paint and ****s it all up...

Before I bought my mustang I looked at an old firebird formula... the guy kept it in showroom shape... everything was nice except for the paint underneath the bra...

so... if the reason you're buying that thing is to perserve the paint... then dont

If you keep it waxed up good and remove it when you wash the car and keep it clean the Bra will not hurt anything.I have used them on cars before and have had no problems with the paint fading or anything.

that's what I do.. And don't use a LeBra. Get a good one with the cotton backing so it is easier on your paint

My opinion, you shouldve used that money to put towards the principle. IMO, none of that stuff other than keeping it clean will get you anywhere near as much money when you sell it as you have put in it. 600 bucks on a honda stereo wont make a hill of beans to someone looking for a honda to buy. JMHO, good idea on all the exterior stuff though, just be careful with the bra.

How bout that new paint from Duplicolor i believe. They make a new protective shield paint that washes off with soap and water. You could use that instead of a bra, but it might be a pain always having to put it on after you wash your car. And how bout some new wheels????
