This is really a good thing if you travel the highways as it is like the front of the car is being sandblasted.

Mine is Monterey Blue and you barely notice the clear bra. Around $560 in VA because he did three Z and gave us a discount.

I have seen white cars with a bra that had a yellowish tinge. I'm sure that if you keep it waxed that would not happen. My car is yellow, so I wouldn't know if it turns yellow or not!

That was with the earlier generation of 3m Clear bra material. That no longer occurs with the 3rd (4th?) generation of film

Is the way i went. Doesn't yellow and not noticeable. Will see line but for mine, those lines are on my partial fender and looks as if part of the car. Hardly noticeable. I had full hood, front bumper, rocker panels,lights and partial fenders. Cost 1150 with lifetime warranty. Mines black by the way.
