I'm guilty!
But only on long drives or group drives.

If you plan to reprint at some point, why use the bra then?

I thought they only make bras for Sebring convertibles and Toyota Solara's.

That is funny! Re: the Toyota Solara, a neighbor up the street from our house moved in about four years ago, rock bra on their Solara has been on the car the entire time they have lived in the new house. Just like the USPS, neither rain nor sleet nor threat of hail threatens the removal of the vinyl bra ... can only imagine what the paint looks like underneath the vinyl rock bra, which itself is just about shot after all of this time in the elements ... Go figure, but it is a really sweet 200,000 mile Solara.

Wow. Didn't think there were so many bra haters. For me, it was a quick, cheap, temporary solution to a legitimate problem before I left on a long trip.

my experience's with bra's of the automotive kind, non Pcar installations...both were custom made items. One left mark's thru the clearcoat, even though the bra was very frequently removed, car cleaned, etc. The second caused the car to run at higher temps, on the hottest of days...forget about running the a/c. That screening in front of the openings simply didn't allow as much air to enter.

So, that would be my concern with a bra for prolonged use on our 993's...would it starve air flow thur the oil cooler and a/c condenser.

I mean, besides just looking like hell.

As a side note, both the bra's I had made were color matched to the car's...real works of art.

two rolls of painters tape are cheaper, just as quick and less dangerous

But then I don't throw rocks at playmates.... Anywho, I too prefer them without a bra.

I have a complete Porsche Crest set in the classifieds with Mirror covers and storage Bag for a Hunsky.
It's never been used.
