[88Z-Man]

I have been using bra's on cars since 86. Never had a problem. You just have to make sure you install it right the first time you put it on so its always tight against the car. I like to remove them after it rains. If you don't and let it dry on the car you can get mold and mildew on the paint and the inside of the bra if its left on for a while. Plus you want to take it off once in a while to get any debris that collects around the edges, and to let the paint breath, leaving it on to long can cause the paint to fade. A lot of dust or leaves or those little brown things that come off the trees can scratch the paint. But it will deffinatly protect the nose of the car from things kicked up by other cars and trucks. And all the new ones now are made so you can open the hood without removing the bra. My old one I got in 88 is a one piece that you can't open the hood with it on without taking the whole thing off. But it was worth the investment, they are not that expensive compared to having to fix paint chips and so forth.
