I got the dealer to take um' off while they were detailing the car...Im jus hoping no rocks really hit it...

I was watching them do it...... All they did was peel it back really really slowly...and then sprayed the area with sumthing and wiped the area clean....

Its in Velocity red

I have a pretty nasty little gash at the top of the driver side rear fender clear bra. I'm pretty sure if that clear bra wasn't there it'd have taken some paint off the car. As it is now, the bra is frayed and there is a very tiny ding from the impact. So it works, and it's there for a reason...I don't know why you'd take them off.
