From the looks of the Covercraft in the picture it doesn't look well designed given the folds in the material. It looks rather loose and ill-fitted. Last edited by ZKindaGuy; 12-05-2009 at 09:46 AM. |

As for the comment about getting a clear bra instead because it looks more modern or in with the times that is a bunch of . Whether a person uses a leather / vinyl bra or clear has nothing to do with "modern" times...it is a preference and that's all it is.
It's remarks like that create fables and myths that other brainless sheep then start to take to heart. And besides, a clear bra doesn't do jack for many things that get tossed up and slamming toward the car's front. The leather / vinyl bras do protect well against those times. BAAAAAAAAA..... |

Zkindofguy... I had a piece of tire, roughly half of it, flip up and hit my bumper, headlight, hood, and then over the windshield at 80mph and therre wasnt one single scuff on the paint. There were some black marks on the film but they buffed right out. So I am not sure what your "those times" are but it seems to hold up better than you lead on. In fact I would be willing to say that its youre remarks about clear bras not holding up that lead to people becoming "brainless sheep". if you want to stick with 80s technology and cover up the lines of your car, go ahead. But do not put out false information about paint protection film not holding up. If that were true all of these Ferrari, Porsche, Lambo... owners would not be getting them. They would be driving around like you with a big piece of leather covering up their beautifu cars. Last edited by HTP AutoWorks; 12-05-2009 at 09:59 AM. |

No what is a travesty is an attitude that one shouldn't try to take care of what they do have so that it lasts longer and maintains the highest possible value. I'm glad you aren't living in my neighborhood.

I agree with you about the bra in the picture being terrible looking. That is why I suggested going with the Nissan bra as it is formed fitted and absolutlely skin tight. Last edited by ZKindaGuy; 12-05-2009 at 10:29 AM. |

Now on my 370Z I had the same thing happen but I had the leather "80's technology" bra on. It slammed the car even harder than the other incident with the Stang as this "gator" was larger and rocked the 370Z when it hit it. I immediately pulled over to the side of the road expecting to find all kinds of damage....and there was absolutely nothing at all. Even the "80's technology" leather still remained intact. It just had a flat-black scuff across the leather at the strike point which came off very easily using some leather cleaner and conditioner. So spare me your knee-jerk "sales job" when I can show that "80's technology" works any day of the week because it NEVER fails and isn't a pure CRAP SHOOT like when using "modern-day clear-bra technology". And BTW...just because a clear-bra makes its way onto some exotic brand of vehicle has absolutely nothing to do with how well the clear bra will actually protect the car. So HTP AutoWorks, do you want a shot at the "proven technologies" title? Last edited by ZKindaGuy; 12-05-2009 at 10:33 AM. |

I have had clearbra on my Z since the beginning of April, right after I bought the car. I drive the interstate daily to work. My front end looks like new. Rocks and debris at highway speeds have not damaged or torn the clearbra. My 350 looked like sh!t, as if someone had shot the nose with a shotgun. My 370 looks showroom new. From a performance standpoint in resiliancy to rocks, it is an excellent product. It also has zero peeling and no yellowing.... looks as good as the day it was installed. You guys can debate looks and conventional bras all day long, but the clearbra is a winner from a protection and asthetics standpoint on my car. John

Reading these posts, I wish ZKindaGuy was a CamaroKindaGuy so he could go join those folks. Did no one ever teach you that it's not what you say, but how you say it?

Would that be anything like the proverbial "bedside manner" ?

Something like that. One doesn't get far in life flipping off the handle every time there is a point to be made. Be a little bit rational and explain your points like a grownup. Popping off and flexing your e-muscles doesn't impress anyone around here.
