Question Bra question???

Considering a "soft Bra" for wagon. Not interested in permanent "clear" as I have had problems with a clear aviation application and in addition do not want the installation on all the time. Anyone running a "soft" care to comment on type, ease of installation/removal, +/- etc. Considering the Colgan Custom Carbon Fiber, but no final decision.

Sorry, but I gotta say this:

Several years ago while admiring my (non-MB) car with a bra installed, the admirer asked me: "Who are you saving the front end of the car for, the next guy who owns it?"

I went home, took off the bra and have not owned one since. They are ugly and, what for, the next guy?

Bring on the flames!

Agree, Bra's are ugly-but for road trips saves the chipped paint pain--to repeat no intention of leaving on except for high threat ventures.

I couldn't agree more!!! The same with people that take out the floormats so that they will have a new set when they go to sell the car.
