Default Clear bra?

I was thinking about getting a sunteck clear bra for my hood and around my lights. The cost is 220 is that a good brand and is it worth it?

I'm not a fan. Had one on my VW and it was a PITA to remove when the time came.


This is a truck, I'll not bother.

I put a 24 inch Xpel clear bra, headlights and bumper on mine it cost twice that. $400 to help protect and preserve a $50,000+ purchase is well worth it.... To me that is..

Good brand? There are better. Worth it? Depends on where you drive and if you like to use touch up paint.

Clear Bra for me. Way to **** to use touch up paint trying to make it look right.

The way people drive these days, in most larger areas, it's necessary, too much stuff getting kicked up, too close to our trucks.

Mine will be done tomorrow...

I put an Xpel clear bra on my wife's car, thought about one for the truck when i bought it last August, I wish I would have now. This paint is easy to chip, very easy.

That's very cheap...I paid just over $1100 to have my front end wrapped and front two windows tinted. Front half of hood, fenders, bumper, grill surround, headlights and headlight surrounds. Door cups, door edges and door sills. Hopefully I keep this truck longer than a year!

If you have a good installer and they wrap the edges, they are just about invisible.

I had one on my '14 for over a year, from the time I purchased it new until I traded it earlier this month and it was very nice to keep it clean and chip free.

I paid $550 for Ziebart to do my front bumper and headlights and front of my hood. I had it done at 11,000 miles but wish I would've done it right from the beginning. Even at 11,000 it had several chips/nicks just from general road debris.
