Not my cup of tea but enjoy...

I say just re-spray the bumper if it gets that bad.

It's like old people and plastic on the couch. JUST ENJOY IT.

Yes I edited. Too harsh.

What's up with the bulge in the material below the driver's side headlight? That shouldn't be there and needs to go away or it can act as a pocket and trap dirt, rocks, and debris that will scratch your paint.

In Texas I'd be repainting every few months without my bra. That gets expensive, and a bra can always be taken off for shows and events. It's all a matter of taste really. I like the look of the black bra with the dark, tinted windows against the arctic white paint. I get an amazing amount of compliments on almost a daily basis.

My teen daughter would say no. She recently got my old car, a fully loaded '03 Monte Carlo High Sport, which after 10 years is still in almost new condition, and turns heads on a regular basis. All of her friends are jealous of her new baby, and it's thanks to the bra (it has the raised hood section unlike the Vette bra) that the hood and front bumper have never had so much as a single scratch on them. It's starting to crack after so many years, but I found a brand new GM bra for it on eBay that she's going to be getting for her birthday.
