Clear Bra or no?

I got an OB on a 2 year lease... I am debating whether or not to get the clear bra on it or not...
the dealer said that when I return the car, the minor wear and tear scratches are fine, as long as there are no big time scratches, in which case I might have to pay a little ...
so should I get it or not? Has anyone here had an OB for a while with no clear bra? how bad does it get?? or will it get in 2 years?

On a lease... Hells no!!! Wear and tear is expected so you'll have rock chips for sure.

If you were buying, I'd say Hella Yeah! Get it.

It really does help! However, for a lease, it's not yours, especially for a two year lease. It's up to you but I wouldn't.

If you're going to slap a clear bra on it, you'd might as well put in an exhaust, intake, headers, strut bar, body kit.....

But of course, who in their right mind would do that on a lease?

Haha, so the answer is no.

+1 for the majority hear that say don't do it because its just a lease, I purchased mine and am in the process of protective filming the entire car. Its a PITA but this BS soft azz paint is crazy and on top of that I got it black so i don't want to risk anything. Will post a DIY when I am done!

I think on lease turn in they do "the credit card test". Any damage under the size of a credit card is not a big deal.

I have the clear bra on my BO, but I purchased. It was installed in the first couple of days from delivery and I wouldn't be without one on BO.
