Would never get a clear bra again. Had one on my C5 that got dirt in the cut lines that could not be removed . Same with stone nicks and autocross cone hits. Dirt and ugly looking.

Just had a friend remove clear bra due to yellowing. Clear bra replaced by manufacturer. Old clear bra removed from 427 white blue factory strips.
They used some heat gun and they came right off with not damage to the stripes or paint. Done no problem no more yellow. Be sure to use a synthetic type wax on the clear bra according to manufacturer.

Check with a good body shop. The key is laying a lot of clear over it, so you don't feel the edges.

No, stickers have an edge. And I like waxing too much.

A good installation should be in the $350-$400 range.

Today's PSA:

It's a scientific fact that stripes add 5hp to your car.
