Default I just bought a 4 year old Texas car and the front end was perfect...

A clear bra was my first purchase after getting back to Colorado, because we have pea gravel on the road 10 months of the year.

Do you need a CB in Tex?

Default Precisely why I didn't go for a full bra...I just did XPel Head/Fog light protection on my Bimmer.

Only because the price of the headlights are insane to replace. You can't worry too much about chips and dings...It's part of getting old.

Default whatever you do, do not use pre-made pieces. you can hide lines by having it made custom fit.

The only line you'll see is the one across the hood.

Default and drive around for 3 years w front looking like Sh$t...i would do the clear bra...i did not

on my RS6 and its destroyed and looks crappier than the alternative...estimate was $1000 to do it right...its not $700. I would rather see the line and the plastic than repaint. Also people tend to wonder if you had an accident if you respray. The dollar amount ($700) sounds fair from quotes i got on S5 i was thinking of getting.

Default U must not live in Illinois (or chicago anyway) my front is ruined and following distance was not a

factor, there is just a ton of debris on the road. Back in florida i could see doing without but not up north where roads are hell and loose rocks are everywhere. This is a factor of where you live. I would do it period.

Default Re: S5 is in...now to clear-bra pricing

I have a guys number that i just got today to get your tint and clear bra put on (only in the dallas area). He works at a major dealership here in Dallas and said that he would do it on the side. Talk to him and see what he can do for you, and tell him Simon said for u to call him. His number is (469) 231-7177, serious callers only.
