3M clear bra?

[VRado6]

Hey guys, I'm picking up my new '04 GLi in a few weeks and was checking out my options as far as protecting the paint. I did some reading on vw vortex and it seems most guys have had really good results with the 3M clear bra. Anyone here have it? How does it look?

Yeah I gots that ****. VAGGOD here on the board can hook you up for a good price. Looks great, can hardly see it (just a line on the hood). A little pricey but looks 1000x better than a bra!

Yep, when my car is clean, and a fresh coat of wax, you can hardly tell it's there. From more than 5 feet away, it's invisible.

I also have it on my car and headlights and I like it. Even though my car is the scratch'mobil the 3M stuff has held up pretty good. Now all I have to get is a little 1" square piece to cover the spot where my antenna just touches my spoiler.

i came to realize that 3m is a big waste of money. ok, so the first 10" of your hood wont be chipped, what about the rest?? you will still have to paint the whole thing. so if you are doing 3m, DO EACH PANEL IN ITS ENITRETY. otherwise dont bother. i got rid of all my 3m, i rather repaint the stupid car every couple years.

Re: 3M clear bra?

Fair enough, but do both. I don't want my car lookin like **** because of rock chips on a dark car!! The places your car gets rock chips the most is where the 3m goes. Its not so you don't have to paint your car every few years, its so it looks a bit better until you DO paint it!!

Re: 3M clear bra?

I've already had a few chips that have pierced the 3M. I should read my warranty on it and see if that is covered.

I also had my rear deck panel covered so my dogs dont hack up the hatch when they hop in.

I have my full front = mirrors done. it has ben worth it as my front end remains mint (except for damaged caused by other front end hazards [read: wife])

Re: 3M clear bra?

I dunno, I personally can't stand the way those things look. They make the car look like it's wearing one of those Biore Pore strips or something When they're new they aren't really noticable. But the worst is that they're prone to swirls and scratches the same way paint is, and so over time they look hazy and opaque.

Having said that though, I don't drive my car in the winter. But if I did, then I might consider these.
