[svxxx26]

I agree that the bra adds nothing to the looks of the car (IMHO), but after watching the little stone chips start to add up on my newly-painted hood, I bought one for "protection".
It works out well for me because my SVX is not my everyday driver. If it WAS, it would be a major headache.
Those things don't breathe, so if you get one wet and then let the sun hit it, the paint is likely to cloud/discolor underneath it.
Not to mention having to keep the things clean underneath so that the accumulated dirt doesn't turn it into a big piece of sand paper.
So yeah, I use one - but just be careful. They are not a "set it and forget it" item.
