Clear Bra...

Ok, as I`d said before, Mrs. B/B was against putting a bra on Her Hot Rod, (that`s right, it`s her`s), so last Aug. I`d ordered a clear bra set off Ebay.
Man was I upset when I found I`d only ordered the lower set. After a couple more dings/stone chips, I decided to order the upper set.
It arrived last Sat., and Mrs. B/B & I installed it Sun., before the Mothersday festivities.
It took a while to clear up, but it`s coming around nicely, took a couple pix.

Looks to me like you did a fine job (The Mrs. too!)

I would like to see how it looks after say.....6 months in the sun though.

How much was the set? I've gotten a bunch of rock dings and need to do something to make the paint last longer.

The first set (lower) was $9.99, should`ve known, and the Upper set was $19.99, down from $24.99 because I`d purchased the prior set.
The shipping was more than the lower set, $11.99.
The second set included shipping .
I haven`t put the lower set on yet, I was worn out after the three top pieces. The main piece was a real 'motha' to get straight and smooth, the wings almost jumped on.

I am wondering if "Duplicolor Shield " is the same thing as this clear bra?

Not even close Sindy.

Duplicolor Shield is a spray on (and wash off) product. It is supposed to provide bug protection, but is not very worthy. The member who used it, probably the same as in the link you provided, indicated he wouldn't use it again.

Additionally....my near by Wal-Mart has about 2 cases of them on the CLEARANCE shelf.......$3.00 a can. The guy said he heard they were also discontinuing it.

I'm wanting to do this also but I'll probably pay to have a pro install the 3M stuff....I am really bad at doing stuff like this Patience of a 12 year old out clothes shopping with his mother


One of my bosses has this on his Lexus and he does a lot of highway driving to and from Boston. His white car still looks great after 2 or 3 years


I'll take a closer look next time he is in to see if I can see any yellowing etc

I hope I never see it yellowing, if all goes as planned/hoped, the S/S Turbo/Supercharged version will be out before then.
