I use the Speedlingerie for long road trips......it adds a bit of protection from flying tires, small animals, assorted junk,........and makes clean-up a bit easier when arriving at the destination.

Suggestion
Daily use, Xpel (one of 3m scotchcal products) is on there all the time.....would replace every 2-3 years (no downsides other than cost).....the other option is to just repaint the front w/that frequency.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Outcome without a verified action link
I removed the bra and had no more problems over the weekend.
on their car
?
I would like to avoid as much stone chip damage as possible, what are the pros and cons to these things? I searched the archive but didnt find much.
Put my Colgan bra on my '99 996 for the first time this weekend at a DE event. On the second run of the first day my engine overheating light came on although my engine temp was within spec. I removed the bra and had no more problems over the weekend. Good news: bra fit well and stayed on under high performance conditions. Bad news: don't know if the bra openings diverted the air just enough to irritate the sensor. Overall the Colgan product is moderately priced and should work fine under normal use.
I never liked the looks of a bra so I had the 3M plastic film (StonGard, X-Pel, ClearBra) installed and have no regrets. The key is to find a very good installer.

Seriously, today's ABS plastic front bumpers are pretty darn tough & durable...you may need nothing....GreggT
I went Kerry's route and had the 3M "Scotchcal" put on the front bumper, lower hood, mirrors, base of fuel cap lid, and behind the wheels on flared rockers. Total cost about $600 and you can barely see it. I feel a lot more comfortable now. It's probably twice the cost of a bra, but I no longer worry when highway driving.

Thanks again for all the feedback! I will prob look around locally to see who is a reputable installed of the 3M type product, i prefer its look to that of a bra (except on the missus!)

I thought about getting a bra but was advised by a number of people that dust and dirt gets underneath the bra and you end up scratching the paint that way!
I like it just the way it is. NAKED!!
IMHO, anything that goes on detracts from the natural beauty, and I don't like to give the impression of being over-protective. So far, no nicks or dings of any kind.
I'm with Palting, the looks of a bra is just ridiculous. I guess its different here in Europe (I've never ever seen one here) and OK in the US.
I'd rather repaint the front every now and then than wear that thing anyway, whats next, seat covers for the leather?
Actually I just had the front repainted after 2 years (lots of high speed highway driving), no big deal and looks great.
Paulting, I hate bras as well. I think they do more damage than good and are a pain to maintain.
However, this 3M stuff is really great. Only time wil ltell, but I'd rather try and keep my paint original wherever possible! (Of course the turbo nose was a re-spray) but it was almost new when we re-sprayed it.
I heard speedline is definitely worth the money for the fit that you get.
Don't forget that ill fitting bras can cause more damage due to flapping and hitting your car at highway speeds. I believe I saw someone on funcarsonline that wanted to sell one cheap for an '00.
Check it out if interested.
Was at a DE event this weekend and saw an 02 996 with the 3M product. Good news: at the right angle it looks great...can't even tell it's there. Bad news: when rocks do hit it they leave accentuated marks because of the softness of the material and when the light hits it just right, it looks far worse than what you get with no protection. I was really surprised...surprised enough to reconsider purchase.
