Hope you waited a few months to let the paint cure and harden before
slapping on that bra... otherwise I'd be a leeetle afraid of what it
looks like now.

I second that suggestion..I own a Nissan '02 SE and recently brought
Colgan bra to hide all the scars on the hood, from my highway driving.
It is great and completely blends with my car color (dark grey).

Only question I have is, how often are we suppose to take it off and
dry it (as per unclear instructions), if it gets soaked in rain??

fun and games,

The problem I've seen with car bras is they move around and scratch/wear out
the paint anyway. That or the paint becomes discolored. Very few people are
going to remove them regularly to keep the area under them clean and dry
under them after they have been in a rain etc.

BTW most people assume you've installed it to cover up wreck damamge, just
like car seat covers. How many people put seat covers over nice seats? And
if you're going to put a bra on a car, why not wait until its "nicked
beyond redemption" since you aren't going to see it anyway?  :-)

I advise every customer of mine not to waste money on a bra.  In my
limited experience, bras do more damage than they prevent.  Uneven paint
fade, vibration damage to paint, vibration damage to hood and bumper,
and accumulation of dirt and debris under bra leading to paint damage
and stains.  Every trade in with a bra has required major paint and body
reconditioning.

Most paint damage is caused by following to close the vehicle in front
of you.  Road debris is being kicked up and slams into the first
non-aerodynamic part of your car... the bumper and hood.  Back off.  You
will do yourself a huge favor.

FYI, I also own a 2000 Max SE with 31k miles.  I have less paint damage
than my 95 Eclipse RS at the same milage and I harder on my Max than my
Eclipse.

get a 3M type Clearbra much better!
