Dr. Frost was needed in this thread, we had a "brain dead" patient :bowrofl:

He just needs some people skills :icon14:. Y'know in a way, they're both right. Although the film is tough, there is no way it could be tougher than the old bras. Biggest problem with the Wonderbras is their looks. No doubt the Ferrari and Lambo owners are just as concerned about their looks as they are with protecting their paint.

Back in the olde days, a couple of my rigs had the wonderbras. Biggest problem was al the crap that got underneath them. No way a car is gonna look good after 100,000 miles when it's got stuff festering under one of those bad-boys. :stirthepot:

:iagree: there was another here that did that very same thing...and it didnt end well for him :rolleyes:

Ya, another one who could have ben saved by Dr. Frost, MD :rolleyes:

"Y'know in a way, they're both right"

This is very true, sometimes it is just fine to "agree to disagree" and respect the other man's opinion. I love all the fights that occur over "styling and asthetics", where there is no right or wrong, just personal preference. Then again, when everyone thinks something is hideous, and you happen to like it, you're much better off sometimes to keep it to yourself and avoid criticism, and just enjoy what you like. :p

Proof to this "test."
As I have seen a clear bra on a car and then drove next to it from Houston to Austin, guess what, it had rock chips under the clear bra from road debris, rocks, etc. A good leather front mask will protect better on highways (city to city driving), inter-city driving I have no tests on as I could careless at this point.

lol dreamer dont let that snow get ya down :icon17:

Definitely true. Arguing about personal preferences is just a waste of time. It would be like getting all juiced up in a "what color do you think is best?" thread, or "which exhaust sounds the best?" Don't worry about beating your point into the ground, because you're not going to change people's minds and for the record, not many people really care anyway.

They both protect very well when applied or put on correctly, it's up to you as to which one you like. :iagree:

My RX-8 was a rock/bug magnet. I had a clear bra installed shortly after purchase and it did help out a lot, but not to the degree of a leather bra. On my red 8, I thought the black bra actually improved the way the front end looked, but I agree that they are butt ugly on our 370s. Regardless, I make frequent 300+ mile drives home, and you can't beat the protection that a good leather bra provides for long road trips. Sounds like many of you are comfortable with layering clear bras for extra protection, but for me the 300 dollar investment in something that I only use for long trips is a winner.

To be honest, I don't understand why this is such a heated topic. If the car is yours do whatever you want to protect it to the best of your ability. If a leather bra just makes you nauseous, then clearly they aren't for you. I don't think there's much of an argument, however, for saying that a sheet of plastic or two provides more protection against road debris than a thick leather pad. It may be an acceptable substitute for some, but better? That just violates whatever common sense I have left, which isn't much I assure you.

Cheers

My favorite color is Green. :rofl2:

:mad: no its not!!!

its blue :gtfo2:

:iagree:

I did add however that from personal experience, my 3M clearbra does protect very well and has zero defects after 8 months of steady highway use.

You two are redonkulous, everyone knows the best color for a Z is titty pink! :mad:
