Default Clear Bra

Hopefully going have have a clear bra put on my 2016 Z06 and was told by my installer (done several cars over the last 10 years) that when he does the installation won't put it on the Carbon Fiber Hood insert as it pulls the clear coat off. Anybody have this issue?
thanks

Rob at Proform didn't put it on mine, either; IIRC, he said it looks like crap and tends to peel, I think. Rob is da man, so I trust what he says. Sounds like your guy is wise on this, too (though his rationale on the clear coat seems a little suspect).

Default Huh?

I've had 3M Pro installed on a couple of stingers and never had an issue. With this one there was concern due to the Jake being two levels that the clear bra wouldn't look good where the levels join (in the Jake), however the installer took his time and made sure there were no "gaps" at the joins..

Pretty sure there is no "clear coat" on the stinger as is installed after all the paint process is completed.
