The funny thing about these front-end wraps is that the folks using them to make their cars look “sporty” or “mean” claim they’re protecting the vehicle from debris, bumper taps, and other scratches. But if you live anywhere with regular rainfall, that moisture will get in your car bra, crack the clear coat, and make paint bubble up. Oh, and after a visit to a local Safelite repair station where a technician pulled a dead mouse and about five years’ worth of silt out, we can’t recommend keeping car bras on permanently.
