My cars front bumper is trashed from bugs, drive 100 miles plus a day an don't have time to remove the bugs as soon as they happen, can I still put a clear bra on my car? I would have put one on from the start but didn't find this site and start my obsession until about a month after i purchased my car. Would it be effective to put the bra on or wait an get my bumper painted an then put one on? please help me out

-Once you have the bugs totally removed...
How will you assess the aesthetics of the front bumper?

Whatever, (let's call it damages), are there...will still be there...
more than likely visible through a Clear Bra (PPF).

Can you live with that...is the question, IMO.

-Now a Clear Bra (PPF) will prevent a lot of further damages...
But you still have to clean bug guts off the PPF!

-If you think the bumper needs painted...do it...
then put on the Bra after the paint's cure-time, if you so desire

:iagree:

If YOU can live with any flaws, then go ahead and put the clear bra on.

If YOU can not live with it, then you'll need a repaint before putting on the clear bra.

I mean most would probably live with the bugs on the front but I'm just super picky. The car is only

The car is only a year old with 30,000mi on it. I just wish I would have put the bra on to begin with.
