My wife drives her 08 G37 Sport Coupe about 60 miles round trip to work every day and the bugs get nasty all over the front end. They are hard enough to get off that I'm considering installing a bra for the front. I really hate to because I like the looks of the front end naked, but I'm wondering who is using a bra as well as what brand you use and how happy you are with the fit and quality! Oh, and anyone with pictures would be great too!
Thanks!

 

Oh, the temptation to respond to this!

Seriously, bra wear the paint due to flapping.

 

Exactly why I want to know what others have done and who's happy with what.

 

Clear bra

 

When I drive from NJ to Florida and my G is covered with bugs I go to a car wash.
No more bugs!

Amazing!

Telcoman

 

Do you wax her car? That should help. If you are DEAD set on getting a bra, my mom had a clear bra put on her evoque. You literally cannot tell. I was amazed. If I had bought my car new, and from now on, I will be wrapping it or at the very least a clear wrap.

Hope that helps!

 

A quality clear bra install w/ XPEL brand film will be a great addition, or be careful w/your following distance, that will help a lot too.

 

do not do one of those vinyl bras ... they will **** up your paint.
ok for a long road trip, if you remove it afterwards.

 

Yes, I wax her car at least a couple times a year with a quality wax, with a couple extras on the front end, but it's still a lot of work to get the nasty bugs off. I figured it would be easier to keep a vinyl cover clean while still protecting against rock chips without having to drop $600 on a clear film.

 

Great advice, but I don't take any of my vehicles to car washes... Hand wash only. Pay too much for them to let some twirling machine rip scratches into the paint!

 

you'll drop more than that when you need a new paint job. they arent fun or easy to put on and remove on a regular basis. if you dont, they trap moisture and will make the paint permanently cloudy. like i said, ok for a long trip, but not something you want to leave on all the time. (plus they look stupid!) LOL


get a clear bra and some of this:
