Looks nice! You may already be aware of this but be sure to keep it clean... when dirt and grit collect on the bottom side of the bra it can act as an abrasive when it flaps around. Just wash it once in a awhile

Thanks for the advise. Actually i'm treating it with Simmoniz Ultra UV protection, wich also repels dust according to the bottle. I pass a terry cloth with a bit of the UV protector every night to keep it looking sharp, as well as the rest of the HHR with a bit Meguiar's NEXT Ultimate Quick Detailer , I'm a detail freak with my cars , inside and outside

I've got a white HHR also, man that front is the worst to keep clean and takes a lot of elbow grease. I'd put one of those on but I just don't like that look either. You'll save yourself a lot of work with that on there.

The reason you take a bra off when it rains or gets damp is because you will cloud the paint if the wet material remains in contact with the paint -- this is something that happens over time. I speak from experience. I had bras on all my Celica's back in California. After clouding the paint on my first one, I always took them off if there was any chance of it getting wet. Plus, the cushy material on the underside stays cleaner and softer if it's kept clean and dry.

wow i had thought about getting one for the winter with ice, sand, and salt all around, but that sounds like way too much of a hassle.

Not a winter or wet weather accessory! For sure ...

Exactly! That's the main reason why. Although it may sound such a hassle ( and probably it is) it's well worthed the time spent putting it and taking it off. Looks killer on dry weather and your paint won't suffer any damages.

According to the manufacturer, the are using a technology similiar to Nike's Dry Fit, so the bra actually "breaths" and no clouding occurs, but i certainly won't take any chances!
