Just got my clear bra installed -with pics! I was kinda nervous about getting a clear bra, not sure if it was going to stand out at all. But I have to say that after doing it I am seriously happy with the result. The kit included the hood, front grille, front bumper, headlights, and mirrors. Here are some pics:
This is the install:
After install:
If you look closely you can see the seam: But you literally have to be this close to see it.
You can see where the bra seam better in this light:
You can only see a seem if you get right up to my car and look, but other than that -it is invisible. I highly recommend it.

Dang, I was hoping to see someone wearing a see-through brassiere! Just kidding. Looks nice. I wish I'd known about this stuff before I bought my car - I definitely would have opted to get it right off the showroom. How much did it cost?
I sure wish my car was newer

Thats what makes it so cool!
The hood and mirror kit was $75, the headlights were $50, the bumper was $175 and the grille kit was $40. Retail on this whole setup was going to be a a lot more. The bumper was going to be like $300 and the hood was gonna be over $100. My good friend is starting his own company doing this, and if anyone wants a kit for their car you can order it and put it on yourself. Its actually really easy for our cars.

Rep Power: 0 Im not sure what brand it is. I just got mine from a company called Ricochet Gard here in Tahoe. If you want you can just order the headlight kit and pay pal him and put them on yourself, its pretty easy

Rep Power: 0 Wow, that some big money. But I guess it's a pretty good investment. But hey, when a rock hits the clear bra, doesn't the clear bra get messed up anyways? It won't chip, but I'm pretty sure the clear bra will show scratches or possibly peeling from road debris.

Rep Power: 0 I had to get this kit -up in tahoe there is so much crap on the roads and big trucks throwing ***** at my car. Im glad i did it. I let everyone know how it looks after a few months.
And as for if it will chip and show on the plastic -it is really crazy, the guy who put it on for me got a piece of the material and tried to push a key through it to show me that it will strech BIG TIME and it didn't show huge mark on it after. Pretty cool stuff.

Rep Power: 583 ok...what happened to the *****???? thats some seriously false advertising right there. lol
i would just have one concern with this thing. i know its clear, so the paint might not get faded differently from the sun, but what about oxidation? the paint on the front of your hood is going to be somewhat newish, but the rest is going to be weathered and chipped and all that. dont they have full hood covers? i mean for $300 id expect that much.

Rep Power: 0 Damn thats quite a bit of money for clear vinyl. Thats all it is. I have a 15" x 30' roll sitting right here. If i can get a template for our cars I can make them for waaay less then that.

However, Im not sure if youre suppose to see the seam on your car dru106. I have installed it myself on my previous WRX and you wont be able to see the seam.
Other than that, its a good investment than the leather bra.
Anyway, someone beat me to posting the rockblocker.com site and this is what I used on my WRX.
