Front Bra/Protector?

I'm getting my front end repainted in the spring and i was thinking about picking up a leather bra protector thing for the front for my trip to Florida on the interstate stretches.

I want something sturdy, but can be taken off once i get into towns. Just curious if anyone uses these? I'd love to get a clear bra, but i just dont think i can swing the $500 or whatever at this point.

Thanks!

I'd rock it once in a while. Especially on road trips.

Janik, NO.

These will actually scratch the **** out of your paint more than protect it, not to mention how much of a Dbag you'll look like.

I'm going to have to agree with 4DGS on this Janik, it makes you look like a fruitcake

lol at the comments.

If you're concerned about the trip and scratching, just do the painters tape mod. Way cheaper than both and won't damage the ride.

I guess you're keeping her for now eh??

I just need it for interstate stretches so i dont get full of rock chips.

Painters taping takes soooo long, but i guess if you all think it works...

He's 100% correct....^....! You don't want to spend the $ for a clear bra which will protect your bumper/hood for years and you're too lazy to put tape on? Leather bras not only look terrible they will mess your paint up....
