Yup it's ugly, but one is going for functionality. Are you saying painter's tape is 'beautiful'?

Yes it is very ugly.... but my post isn't about using it for day to day activities.... You never noted why it's "STUPID" though; something being ugly doesn't automatically deem it stupid

Clear bra is still the best bet if you have cheddar. Put it on for two weeks then take it off. Save yourself the embarrassment for the day or two with that other thing, while at the same time driving around the car with it VIRTUALLY UNNOTICEABLE to 95% of the people you drive/park by. All while protecting front bumper (the main goal).

You could keep it on longer if you wanted too. It doesn't start to look bad until it's been on for a while (Assuming it was proper quality and installation from the outset). but if you hate it take it off. How often you gonna track?

Wouldn't it cost too much to get a clear bra on just to take it off?

I will track several times this summer, and bi-monthly afterwards.

That's what I ended up doing.

I'm the type that knows what to look for... and noticing a little or much... will nonetheless drive me nuts (this is for day to day use, not track).

My reflectors look a little off and no one can see it unless I point it out and even then they can't see it (M3post members and non-members). Yet I see it from a mile away. I'm just that type :/
I notice imperfections in clear bras all the time (even those done professional shops. Unless it's a majority of the car, then there isn't a line thus I'd be cool with it, maybe.
But paint never looks the same when you have clear bra on it..

I want something I can use for the drive to the track, at the track, back from the track, then take it off.

I do NOT want something that will be on for day to day driving as it will drive me nuts.

I probably shouldn't care so much as my car is a lease, but I guess it's in me as a prideful owner to care about the paint looking pretty .

At the next couple of meets I go to, I will check some cars out.
But may of my friends who have them, it's not 'good enough' for me :/

This bra or even a template cut clear bra (shows lines) will not fully protect against track tar, rubber, huge bugs, sand/dirt kicked up, etc. On the track, you will get crap past the bulge or even on the roof with elevated tracks. I got mine full frontal and picked up a bottle of TLR from Premier. The best stuff to get tar/rubber/etc off clear bra. Regular bug/tar remover wont do the job on clear bra.

Besides, you're not gonna want that bra for your track day photos

Thank you for a nice informative post

Track day photos are whatever now as I've got a decent amount already lol.
Though I don't mind more

Why are you at a loss of words?
There is a difference between a bra that is on there 100% of the time versus a bra that is on there ONLY to drive to the track, at the track, back from the track.

Not a line that will be present 100% of the time.

And you might want to read this about some Camaro owners that damaged their paint using Road Wrap. Really bad stuff and completely useless.

I've done my research on Road Wrap. If applied correctly, it won't come off, slap around, make noise, etc etc.

I have read threads about painter's tape problems in the past, yet thousands continue to use it. It's just a huge PITA to keep putting on every damn time.
But you are right in that I should check out some more clear bra installs

I don't see how it would fall off with several hooks and whatnot. Falling off was never something I even looked at lol


I appreciate everyone for your responses, but mostly thank you to those who gave informative responses
