Clear bra
I went to check on the clear bra for my 2017 vert. I was told that it comes in a kit and it goes across the front somewhere just above the body line by the head light. does anyone have a picture of the clear bra installed. I'm not sure that I like the idea of having a line on the car. I told the guy that maybe I would rather do the complete front end. I think the bra is a good investment after paying 995.00 extra for long beach red.

It probably does come in a kit that only covers 18-24" of the hood, but a good shop should be able to cover the whole hood in a one piece install. If they can't, find another shop. I would recommend Xpel for the car.

LMAO.I decided to get the entire front end done after talking with the installer. I didn't want a line on my black hood and wanted peace of mind knowing that I wouldn't see a rock chip on my hood later.
Well worth the extra $$$ imo.

If you are going to do it, definitely get the bumper, hood, and fenders done. Just make sure you ask them how they prep the vehicle and whether they put on any sort of coating afterwards. A good place should do a paint correction beforehand and then seal the Xpel with a nano-coating.
