Crosspost...high speed driving and bras...

Also posted in other forums, but...

I have recently starting taking my 911 to the track. I put 3M Invinca-shield on the nose, headlight area, and front spoiler, and used the hood piece from the 2 piece bra that came with the car from PO.

I also taped the edge of the bra down.

Upon removal, there were some microscratches (bra was clean inside). With the tape and the fact that it was the trailing edge, it wasn't flapping in the 120 mph speed induced wind, and they did come out easily with SMR & PC, but I don't want them there in the first place.

I've been thinking more of this...has anyone ever tried putting microfiber between the bra and the car? I'm talking just about the hood piece here, where it is nice & flat, not the fenders.

My concern is if the lip of the bra is not flush, it could flap, but if I have the microfiber under there, maybe it would not scratch?

Thoughts?

Bra

Get rid of the bra and get a clear paint protection film.

I have Armorglove all over my new SC430, and was the best investment! My black carbon-fiber bra is still new in the box, never used it.

Here's a pic of it: MY SC430 with ARMORGLOVE

Out of all the paint protection film, I liked the way Armorglove looked and how they apply it. BTY, I highlighted the ends where it stops up the hood with polish, as it's hard to see. I have it on the bumper/air-damn, hood, headlights, fender by hedlights, rocker panels, side mirrors and door cups.

Trust me, once you get one, you never have to worry!

Regards,
Deanski
