YACT: what is the point of a bra on a car?

[lancestorm]

I have to use the freeway 5 days a week to go to work. In the past year my 03 Jetta has taken a lot of rocks to the front and it drives me insane. Was thinking of using a bra all the time, I think they look pretty good actually...surprised a lot of people giving them the thumbs down...

How often do you really get hit with stones that dent the front part of the car? I'v enever had a bra on any vehicle I've owned and I don't have any dents or paint chips anywhere from all these rocks that are just flying around all over the place.

And they're ugly.

I just put one on my white 96 Maxima because Nissan primer is black on my car. My entire front clip looks like it was shot with a machine gun and was very ugly with the black spots all over it.

The black bra I put on it really looks nice with the pearl white paint(I'm normally not a fan of car bras)

So, yes, big bugs, rock chips, flying debris, etc, everything will take chips off your paint. My car has over 200k on it also.

I boiught a BRA for my car, for long trips only.. put the bra on... protect from bugs and stone chips, take off when trip is over.
(full day highway trips, etc)
other than that, it shouldn't remain on the car more than say 2 days.

I got a perfect fit bra that can stay on 24x7. They do say to drive the car within 72 hours after a rain however to dry it out

The cheaper bras (lebra, other no name bras), might not be able to be on the car 24x7 however.
