Pearl White Z - Clear Bra?

I've had the car a week and now considering a clear bra. I'm concerned that the clear bra will fade (or yellow) and be very noticable on my white Z.

Default Pearl White Z - Clear Bra?

I've had the car a week and now considering a clear bra. I'm concerned that the clear bra will fade (or yellow) and be very noticable on my white Z. Can anyone chime in? Pics?

Thanks!

If you don't do it, you'll regret it. Yes, over substained lengths of time (we're talking several years) clear bras can yellow or crack, but by that time you'll want to replace it anyway. Checkout my albums and you'll see one of the first be done on a PW.

Thumper I second what my man Socal said, if you don't add the clearbra you will soon notice nasty visible chips ALL OVER your car and it will probably be more expensive than installing the clearbra from the get go.

The trick is to go with an established company with experienced installers and get the right clearbra. Mine is pretty much all over the car except the roof, it looks great and IS barely noticeable. I have to look for it and point out for people to even realize the bra is on. DO IT MAN, DO IT

HI birdmanx1.... I live in Germantown, MD. Where did you get the clearbra installed? And was it 3M clearbra?

Thanks,
Glenn

Hi Glenn, I had mine done at D&L Tinting in White Marsh; you can have as much done as you'll like. I couldn't be happier with the job. I went with the 3M clearbra as it is highly rated and comes with unlimited warranty for yellowing and a few other things.
