Good car bra?

I have a couple long road trips coming up and would like to save the front of my car, lol. I know colgan is a good company and lebra is decent. Which one do you guys have/recommend? Thanks.

Blue tape FTW Here's some pictures of my "custom vinyls" on my car before the cobalt lol







I suggest using blue tape, it's so much fun and you can go all out and do designs and what not lol. Way better than just a bra you buy and put on

I hear the car bras rub on the paint and do damage anyway. Any truth to this?

I am about to purchase a black ss and rock chips will show up BIG TIME and I would like to prevent that. I as well am worried about the scratches but only plan to use it on trips were I am on the highway for prolonged periods of time and then it will end up in the trunk. I would be washing the car before each use. I just want some advice from the paint and detail guru's if this is a good or bad move. I know they have the clear "Vinyl" that you can put on but in most cases you can see its on there.

QFT!

Most reputable Tint or Graphics shops will know what they are, and how to install them. It's basically a thick clear vinyl precut to your car and protects it from rock chips and such. Usually it goes on the hood, head lights, front bumper, mirrors, and rocker panels

I know 3M makes them.

all the ones that I have seen you can see them. At least on the bra you can take on and off pretty easy.
