Piece of cake!
Piece of cake!Another vote for Speed Lingerie. Although they are the most expensive car bra around, they are the nicest fitting in design, and, well sewn.

I don't get this whole bra thing. Who are you saving the paint for? The next owner? Why take a beautiful paint job and cover it with rough looking vinyl or whatever cover? And if you think that a bra is a good thing for the front and the mirrors, why stop there? I'm sure if the demand is there, some of the current bra manufacturers would be happy to provide you with enough different pieces to cover the whole car. You could add it to the rubber floor mats, wretched looking seat covers, and all the other stuff.
Enjoy the car now is my view and my two cents.

Great fit and looks a he77 of a lot better than black of any brand!

I think bras look terrible (in addition to being rough on the paint). I would never have one on my car. Little scratches and rock chips are going to happen. Can't really avoid them, so I've stopped stressing out over it. If it ever gets to the point where it doesn't look good, I'll just have the bumper and hood painted.
If you really want something, I'd get the clear adhesive paint protectant put on. When done well, you can barely see it, and it protects the paint very well. A friend of mine is an aircraft mechanic, and they use that stuff on the leading edge of antennas on aircraft. He put some on the front of the tank of my R6 to keep it from getting scratched, and it has done it's job admirably. There are car places that will do it for you, too. A friend of mine had his Viper done because he takes it to the track a lot, and it works great. I'd definitely look into that before you put a bra on your car.
