Thinking about 3m clear bra... need opinions!
Just make sure if you paint your car first let the paint settle. My friend painted his car and only waited for 8 days before putting on the clear bra. When he took the clear bra off to put on a new one paint on the bumper peeled off! He was really pissed b/c the installer told him it was okay to put the clear bra on right after he painted the car. I was told to wait 30 days after the paint job to put on the clear bra.

Funny how i tell all of my customers this. And some still insist that its ok to just wait 48 hours because the paint was baked.
better safe than sorry in my book, i have waivers signed for anything before 30 days.
I have the 3M clear bra (18inches up the hood with a bikini cut) and swear by it. I had it installed on the car with zero miles. I do believe that if you use a quality installer it makes the world of difference. The same person that has been doing my window tinting also does my clear bra. 3M has an awesome warranty.

I am in the middle of detailing my 2006 pre-owned C4S. It had 3M clear bra installed already. I only have paint defects where there is no clear bra. The clear bra has not yellowed yet. I am happy to have it.
