$20 front end bra! no kidding...

All, check this out:
Just found it and its possibly a great and inexpensive alternative to an expensive clear bra and a paint damaging leather bra.

Please don't put that on your TSX. You paid serious money for your car, spend the money for the real stuff or just live with a few chips. I would rather have a few rock chips on my hood than have of my hood covered in some type of gummy muck from a can. I also say to stay away from the ebay clear bra kits for $9.95. Save your money and buy a roll of seran wrap to wrap your hood with since it's about the same thickness. As that stuff.

I really don't think this is intended to be a long-term use solution. This might be something for someone like CCColts to consider instead of using the painters tape, but should not be used as an alternative to a real clear bra.

Precisely.

Although, the painter's tape is damn funny.

As the saying goes, "You get what you pay for . . . ," or maybe "There's no free lunch . . . ."

Oh hell no! I know your not ragging on colts blue bra!

Now that I think about it. CCColt-you should buy those $9.95 clear bras for your road trips. Apply it instead of the blue tape and peel it off when you get to the show. $10 is about the same price as all that tape you put on it and probably takes 1/8th of the time to install.

I've used spray-on bug protection stuff and it worked pretty well, especially considering it was love bug season here in Florida when I did. I used to get it in a package with some windshield washing solution that Costco used to sell.

It was by far the best washer fluid I've ever used, and I was really disappointed when they stopped carrying it. I've tried to find it, but it's not available anywhere I've looked....
