Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

The bra to me is just a cheep way to cut down on the amount of chips that one will inevitably get over time, given that “fine” paint used by Porsche!

I have never had any problem with using a bra, or harming the paint, although the bra is only used for long trips or freeway driving, and is never left on in the wet.

Prudent use (never get wet, never allow to get dirty, etc.) of a regular bra is a decent solution but I don't care for them myself.

Coverage and how to read this overview

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.

5 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Just took delivery of my new Black Boxster, and now I am terrified of road rash on the nose. What is the latest thinking on nose and side mirrow bras? I had heard that the vibration between the hood and bra causes more damage to the paint than does the occassional road rocks? What does eveyone eles think? If they work it seems well worth the $200 or so dollars to save the paint! Thanks, these cars kick butt! Absolutely the best of the three Porsches I have owned!!!

POST 2Original post

The clear plastic ones which are semi-permanent are a newer technology which is very popular now. I had the treatment done to my car on delivery, and there are no dings where it is installed. The cons are that it is expensive ($600), and always visible (although not too ugly). Prudent use (never get wet, never allow to get dirty, etc.) of a regular bra is a decent solution but I don't care for them myself.

POST 3Original post

I have never had any problem with using a bra, or harming the paint, although the bra is only used for long trips or freeway driving, and is never left on in the wet. I also vacuum the underside of the bra prior to putting it on after washing the car. I drive 75% of the time without the bra, and avoid following “any” trucks. I have a few chips after 15K miles, which will be repaired with the Mothers chip repair kit & touch up paint (Arctic Silver). The bra to me is just a cheep way to cut down on the amount of chips that one will inevitably get over time, given that “fine” paint used by Porsche! Keeping the bra on all the time would be a hassle and take away from the Boxster’s great lines. Enjoy your new toy and don’t let the chips get you down, they are going to happen.

POST 4Original post

In women and in Boxsters, I'm partial to the bra-less look. I love the looks of my car. Why hide all that beauty behind an ugly bra?

POST 5Original post

Clear plastic is the way to go. I am having my car's vital parts covered in a couple of weeks. I will update the board with pics after it is completed.
