the best investment that I have made this year is a clear bra. keeps the front end nice and clean. check out this link. this stuff works amazing. my buddy has it and it works great.

The day I picked up my car I drove my boy to the airport and was so happy to be on the interstate. I didnt evan know how close i was to this big ass dump truck. This rock fell out, hit my hood, scrached the paint all the way to bare mettal. Next hit the glass, and up to the roof.

I had one on the interstate. I watched an 18 Wheeler kicked up a rock as I was passing and I hear thunk on the front of the car. I was almost in tears. When i got to where I was going..no marks anywhere.
About three weeks later I was washing my car and I found a deep gouge in one of the plastic headlight covers. Guess I lucked out on that one

This time of year the best thing is to just get one of those bras for the front end... may look cheesy but it will save you body work later on. i may just leave mine on tho...in maine the rock issue is year round.
