Fit Bra?

Fit Bra?
You know, they say 80% of American women wear the wrong size bra....
... anyway, I realized I might be making a roadtrip to Phoenix in January next year, and I'll have my Fit by then. I've made the trip before in a couple previous cars... and ended up with either a metric ton of bug splatter, or quite a few rock chips.
So I decided if I ever make a roadtrip again, I'm going to get a bra. Does anyone make one for the Fit yet?

Apparently there is a bit of installation needed though.

I'm sure there's some 'installation' needed... the bra doesn't magically put itself on! I want something that isn't difficult to put on, isn't expensive, and can be taken off pretty easily. I don't think I'll be leaving it on permanently. In fact, you should NEVER leave a car bra on permanently... it can really fook up the paint under it.

Aren’t Bugs are easier to remove than abrasion scratches? Watch out for your west TX dust storms and park into the wind. That crap under the bra is brutal. Not to mention the UV faded / unfaded contrasts.

Karvin, yeah, bugs are easy to remove, but still a PITA. Last time I drove to Phoenix, some retarded west Texas county paved their part of I10 with the tar/gravel (they put down tar and drop loose gravel on it, that's it), and an 18 wheeler I passed was kicking up tons of the gravel. A bra would protect the front end decently.
I would only be using it on road trips. Otherwise, it will be off of the car.

No question, a bra will help and is certainly 1/4 the cost of a repaint.
My Vivid Blue hood, at 6500 miles, has several chips already And with our salty winter roads it's just a matter of time before the rust takes hold.
I plan on refinishing it after the warranty period. I generally put on up to 30k miles/yr. so another 30k and I'll be pulling the hood. I'll either go with a powder clear coat or a 2-k clear coat with a flex additive, like the bumpers have. I'm fortunate enough to be in the industry so I may have to call in a few favors.

If I were tracking the car, masking tape would be a good option
Once I get my Porsche all sorted out, painted and good enough for track use, I'll probably mask off most of the front end to protect it!

If anything you should also consider an invisible bra.

Can't afford that, so a ~$100 removable bra will do the job.

Did it come with a laser shield with a pin-point barrier system or something?
I was quoted $350 for part of the hood and the front bumper (WRX)!
Maybe he went to an expensive installer?

bra?
I ordered and got a factory fit bra... still don't have the car yet... then i saw a van go by with "invisiblebra.com" on it. check out their site...they have do it yourself kits, but a friend told me to spend the extra dough and have it installed...
