Default Car Bra

Guys,
I am new on this forum , I have a 2006 Accord coupe black color and I was wondering what is better to protect my hood and the front car : car mask ( Lebra ) or 3M clear bra.
Please give me some reviews because i really want to protect my car.
Thanks

clear 3m bra. The mask will, overtime, leave wear marks where it has holes and where it stops on the hood due to it moving around. They can be buffed out every now and then but why waste the money on it and have to have them marks buffed out every, oh say 6 months. I would go ahead and get the clear 3m bra. I see them on Lexus, Infiniti, Cadillac, all the high dollar cars that I detail in the Birmingham, Alabama area.

I agree with you on this..Ive seen many a hood that the leBra's have come off of where the paint is wearing off badly..

I had one , conce before..never again!

I just called a shop who does the 3M clear bra but the price is very high, they told me $400 to $500 including the bumper.
I found this web but I'm not sure if is a good quality:
Products for Honda ACCORD COUPE 2006 | ClearDefender
But then I have to install the clear bra by myself

It looks of good quality. Installing these yourself, if you don't know what you are doing, is going to take a good chunk of time out of your day. It's about $250 for the product, which sounds the same for 3m. You would be better off having someone that knows how to install these and have done several of them. You will need another person to help you install it onto your car as well. I personally would pay the $400-$500 and have someone else put the clear bra on. That's my preference though.
