Any Si owners have the OEM nose bra? I only want to use the top hood portion. Just looking for feedback. Thanks.

They are generally bad news and can trap moisture the only time I would suggest you use a full bra is if you were taking a long trip and then you removed it immediately afterwards

Agreed. Nose bra is bad news.

I put XPEL clear film on the following area:
1. front portion hood
2. front portion of the roof
3. front portion of front fenders
4. door sills
5. bumper applique

19k miles on my Si in less than 5 months of ownership, I run one the last 4k or so, i recommend it if you put the miles down like I do - I have the WOP and I had like 30 rock chips with ceramic coat and poly on top of the ceramic from doing 80-90 everywhere and so many rocks being thrown up from the road construction thats super heavy down here in Florida right now to beat hurricane season. I have gotten Zero and have noticed way less rocks hitting my windshield since i installed it. I remove and wash and after the love bug season passes here, i will remove it and put away for the summer and fall, probably winter as well but I may be doing a full vinyl wrap in the fall so it won't matter by then.

a clear bra is your best bet man, ive had mine on since i got 2 baby chips on the lower front portion of my hood. i haven't had an issue since getting the clear bra installed on 25% hood, bumper, side fenders. most places will give you free tint with purchase of a clear bra.

Take it from a detailer, get paint protection film applied. Car bra's are nothing but a potential nightmare.
