I have been using my nissan nose mask since new and I have had 0 problems. No chips no fading nada.
I have been wondering what everybody has against nose masks.

do you think its fine ?
I'm sure it's fine. The no wash thing for 2-3 days after install is more because of the high-pressure car washes...

Yeah, but the car will look like hell in between.

I hate being able to see the clear bra lines on the bumper, to me it looks worse than a rock chip here and there. I got an estimate of around $1200 to repaint the front bumper, hood and one front panel that got chipped from someone egging the car. Seems like a good price? Btw does the clear bra turn yellow after time or prolonged sunlight?
