Clear bra on pearl white 370z

Is a clear bra recommended for a pearl white z? I heard it discolors after a while turning yellow.

It is recommended for any color. The newer films will not yellow. It also helps if you use a good sealant or polymer on the clear bra instead of wax. A lot of the yellowing that was going on was because people were waxing the clear bra. Well most waxes yellow over time causing the clear bra to yellow. I have been installing ventureshield for nearly 7 years and never had a clear bra come back for yellowing... or any reason for that matter.

When properly taken car of it can be hard to tell there's a clear bra (speed shield, w/e) on a car, especially if the whole panel is covered and there's no seam.

Whole panel? That's the front bumper and hood then?

Which parts should I clearbra?

If you use a good quality brand, such as Venture Film...you will have no discoloration. I just don't recommend 3M's clear bra. It looks like orange peel.

Venture shield and protect your investment or you'll definitely wish you had.

I currently have ventureshield on my PW Z. Everything is a-ok thus far.
