ive been told that bra's for cars are bad because they trap water and can cause rusting. i havent personally seen this, plus i love the way the front looks, i woudlnt put something that would detract from it.

I have actually experienced this, it did'nt trap water but dust and dirt and on highway driving it will fine scratch the paint. Clear 3M bra since then.

for day to day driving, you should leave the bra off, most people put a bra on for long trips and take it off upon arrival.

(just for the record, the 12 year old in me is attempting to concoct a completely juvenile joke about this topic but is coming up completely empty.... )

I've used both (clear bra and the nose cover). There'e no comparison to the clear bra. Absolutely the greates invention since ribbed condoms.

The vinyl bra for the nose is okay to use as an interim solution. But, over time, it will collect dust and dirt. It's unavoidable and ultimately, it will scratch your car from the ear and tear. You may think it's not moving up there, but it is, just ever so slightly and just enough.
