I'm wondering if anybody else has discoloration to the lower-body fender flare just in FRONT of the rear wheels(can't figure out why because road-splash shouldn't be a problem THERE,and no other areas in back of the wheel-wells or lower body are like that),...mine has it on both sides of the car.....looks like the paint has turned slightly(but noticably)' milky-looking'. :?:

For those who hate bras...this clear film is also great for hoods and VERY durable (and virtually invisible)
BTW, GTP2SSEi...where in Upstate NY are you?...I'm in Syracuse.

Has anybody tried the clear bra. A couple of people that I know used this on their cars and worked pretty good. Sincec it is clear it wont discolor the paint underneath it. You can even wax the cover, wash it, take it through the car wash & wont affect it in any way.

Unless there are extreme conditions or pre-existing condition that are unnoticable i still think a week is a lil extreme. But i digress, there seem to be quite a few people with these on the 92-99 model hoods and none of them have problems. I think it might be related to the shape, and angle of the 2000+ hood. It'* a very gradual curve, which seems more susceptible to this then the older style.
