It doesn't have a clear bra, it is the OEM version that rides
about 1/4 inch above the hood.

I'll look into the maintenance items you suggested

as far as the paint goes, I'll just leave it as is, I put on
approx 6,000 miles a year traveling to ski areas in the
Northeast, lots of salt and sand so any paint corrections
would quickly be lost.

Note: I don't run the 214 wheels in the winter, dedicated
Pirelli scorpions on 18" 87's do pretty good in snow and ice.
