Hey everyone, I need some opinions....will the nissan bra (black leather/vinyl type material) look bad on a white A/C?? I'm seriously considering it, since I'm not ready for clear bra yet and winter is around the corner, but more over I do alot of highway driving and I've had some really bad trucks in front of me...I've had a few chips in the front fascia and hood already...its really ticking me off.....

Just buy some touch up paint. Speaking of which anyone else finding it a big pain in the back to use it?

The stock type slip on bras sometimes collect dirt and stuff under it and starts to scuff up the paint. The stick on clear plastics i hear after a few years will result in your regular paint fading while the part under the plastic stays new and fresh. As a result it's very noticeable.

Anyhow it's your choice the clear plastic is used by many people who don't want to ruin the looks but wants some protection.

Thanks guys and thanks chow, but i'll stay away from it. I used to have one long time ago on a '93 accord...and man it was a pain in the *** and yes dirt would collect underneath it and scratch the paint.....i was hoping the bra would be better or refined now a days with better fitment...but i guess its the same old BS....

Thanks everyone.

I want to get the clear bra, what price range should I expect for a 3M bra professionally installed?

People told me to get some thinner to thin out the paint a bit and to use a small modeler's brush. I'll try that out when i get a chance.
