By the sounds of your post, that's what you meant.

IMHO, the clear bra will help with the resale value of the car.
For example, say the clear bra were installed on two identical cars. 5 years (and a conservative 60,000 miles) later both cars are placed side by side ... the one without the sandblasted front end will get the nod.
One can argue that the car without the clear bra can be repainted before it sells, but what are the odds of getting a perfect paint match 5 years down the road? And why drive around with a sandblasted front end only to paint it for someone else to buy?
I'd say that everyone knows by now the arguements both for and against so each should consider their own situation.

Thanks for the edit. That is exactly what I was trying to say!
