Yes. Use it periodically. Well made, with a great fit. Tested on the autobahn myself. Worked like a champ!

Thanks Dan, have you experienced any paint wear issues? At autobahn speeds did you have any flapping/vibration?

I'm also interested in the best bra out there - I'm not a fan of 'traditional' (as opposed to clear) car bras, but was thinking about one for track days and the occassional road trip. I second Cal's concerns - based on previous bras I've used on other cars, the paint rubbing/wear (especially around the edges of hood where it straps down tightly) and flapping at high speed are my biggest concerns. I'm interested in others' experiences.

Still no paint wear at all--even at autobahn speeds.

No flapping.

Hi, I am also very interested in this.
I hate bra's [all kinds ] but this would allow me to use my 911 more frequently. I am a certified freak when it comes to keeping my nose clean and free of dings. I feel - a protective bra, as odd as it seems really is essential on our low to ground aerodynamic cars.

I'd love to find out more.

I had a custom bra from 'SpeedLingerie' that was outstanding. Breathed so no water damage risk, tight custom fit, color matched to the (white) paint. I had to give it up when I converted to a GT3 bumper (it was custom-fitted to the stock bumper and hood) and I've had it for sale for quite some time. So far, no takers. Regardless, I'd highly recommend them.

If you don't mind me asking, what is your aversion to clear bras . . . if any?

I ask because my clear bra install is just over a week away. I thought I had done all my homework and understood the pros and cons. I'm just wondering if there was some negative to the clear bra that I missed?

IMHO clear bra is THE way to go. Had them on all my cars. Never a problem if installed right.
Regular bras look so... '80s to me.
