I'm considering getting a full bra for my 08 Type-S, and I see right on the ordering web page that they are saying that the bra should be removed and dried out ever time it rains?!!? I am just way to lazy to do that, and I'm wondering if anyone has one of these full bras on their TL, and what happens if you don't dry it out properly?
What are my alternatives instead of getting a bra? I am primarily interested in protection from the bug guts and rock chips. I see the Rejex is out there. Any experience with this product? If I go the Rejex route, should I just do the front bumper and mirrors, or the entire car?

why not consider a clear bra... i saw a few 3rd gen members with it and it looks like it works really well... otherwise, i have used rejex in the past... helps with the bug guts but will not protect u from rock chips...

I have considered the clear bra, but I don't want to part with $750 to have it done by a pro. I am not comfortable doing this work myself. What brand of clear bra do you reccomend. How much does the kit cost, where can I get it, and do you know any installers in the north Florida area?

I have the 3M on mine, has held up fine for the past 2 years I have had it on. You can order it directly from 3M, or you can look online for it. And I'd personally let someone who is familiar with doing them do the work. Just my

I picked up my TL-S last monday and had the dealer put on the film today.
They installed the film on the front bumper, partial hood and fender for $490.
Regular prices was $790. I'm going to pickup the headlight protection from WeatherTech and do it myself.

Wow, that's an awesome price! I sure wish my dealer would do this same thing. Mine won't touch it.

Normally they will contract it out........which of course they want their cut.

I got my clearbra from a guy who has his own custom design cut. Its a crescent moon cut across the top so the bra is less noticeable. The downside is it cost me about 900.

A normal bra is a pain in the a$$. I had one on a previous car. You must take it off every time you wash the car. I also had to take it off frequently to vacuum the inside to prevent dirt from getting caught underneath and cratching the paint. For the TL I had a clear bra put on a when it was a few weeks old. It worked OK but there were some parts weren't covered (the very edges of each panel section and around the lower bumper openings) and got a bit nicked up. After I had an accident and needed the bumper, headlight and fender replaced I didn't put it back on. I paid about $600 originally, but that was over four years ago.

I was generally happy with it and I'm sure the clear bra would have (mostly) saved the front of the car better than going commando, but I couldn't see redoing it after the accident.
