PSA: Just say no to clear bras
I'm almost done pulling the clear bra off my 95.5 S6 Avant, and I will never, ever put one of these on a car again. Not only did it make the car look worse before I removed it because of all of the dirt and general crud that builds up under the edges (pearl white car is part of the problem- darker colors might not be as bad), but even being extremely careful and going slow IT PULLED PAINT OFF MY HOOD!
So overall, although it may have saved me a few dings, I'm worse off for having had it on the car. Arghhh. Now my body shop gets to try to match pearl paint.

I hem and haw about putting one on the Audi. About a year ago, I stripped and painted the trim under the headlights, now it looks like crap again.
BTW, the edges look much worse on dark cars. I have one on my dark gray Denali, and the wifes deep blue Subie. You can see the edges from 30' away.
