Default Clear Bra Repair

I got back from the mountains last night and noticed two 1/2" gashes in the clear bra on my hood. It looks like chit. Is there a way to repair the clear bra?

No there is nothing you can do about that. You must have hit something really big to gash your hood. What film did you have installed? I have been installing ClearMask for 4 years and have never seen a film get gashed... except one time when a trailer backed up over a C5 hood. But thats pretty much expected. You shouldnt have tears in the material unless something pretty large hits your car.

It was factory installed. Yeah I am starting to think it was vandelism not a rock. Like somebody took a key to my hood. Makes me sick that people work their **** off so they can afford a nice car then somebody takes it upon themselves to destroy it. I pity the ahole I catch doing this.

I had some one key my G35 last year and they went across the hood twice... both times on the ClearMask. Thank god I had it on there.... and that I install them. it took me 30 minutes to replace. I always wondered what they thought about that when they saw my car the next day looking good as new...

There is only so many things an alarm can do for you.

For everything else, the M-9 Beretta should come in handy.

Its pathetic frankly. And screw shooting the ahole, I would much rather beat their face into a bloody pulp with my fists, breaking every knuckle in my hand. To me that would be more satisfying.

Werd. To be honest I use the camera at work for my pictures. I work from 7-6, workout after work until around 7:30. Shower, eat dinner. by the time this is all said and done its about bed time. So no, I do not have too much time

I am up late tonight because of the hockey game.

clear bra protected you from being key'd?? I need this, do you buy a sheet of it and custom fit your car, or what?
