New G Owner needs some advice

Hi all!!! I am the proud new owner of a 2003 G35 coupe...Caribbean Blue. I am in love!!! Anyway, I am having MAJOR issues with the bugs over here in Cocoa. I was going to go buy a bra...but then I saw the clear ones that everyone is putting on. My dad has a black Audi TT with one on, and I don't like the way it looks...does anyone have one on a blue? Is it super noticable? Recommendation?

Thanks ALL!!!

i had one on my car for a couple of yrs and it works fine if your drive on the interstate all the time but after a few yrs it starts to fade so last week i ripped it off and repainted my front end !!! i think its worth getting , it is exspensive though

Bras

Thanks... Unfortunately, I live in the sticks. To go anywhere I have a drive, and living in the swamps, I am only asking for the bug problem. LOLOLOL I miss living in Orlando. LOLOL On your silver though...was the clear really noticable? I see them all the time on black, and I am just not crazy about them. Maybe it's because the ones I am seeing are faded.

Thanks for the advice....I appreciate it!!!

If you had to repaint your front when you removed the bra then why spend the money to put one on?

Question Bra

That's a good point. I suppose though, most people don't keep their cars for more than a couple of years. At least I haven't in all my years...if I put a clear bra on now, and trade up in several years, it would be someone elses problem.

get it. the new film materials dont fade the paint like the first ones did. ive had mine 2.5 years with no issues at all. as someone whos put 48k miles on the car, it comes in great for road trips and such. the only time you can see it is if you look from the back of the car. i got mine put on in st louis for about $600 but im sure you can find it cheaper.

living in the "sticks" should be more reason for you to get it

Wear a bra.......?

If you intend keeping your G look'in good get the clear bra. Shop around for
quality and price, the new film on the market shouldn't fade.....but it won't
be Gator proof.......
