Clear bra is about protecting the first-hit zones.

The bumper, hood, mirrors, headlights, front fenders, and rocker panels collect the most impact from freeway driving and road debris. Clear bra coverage protects these areas while keeping the original paint visible.

Popular clear bra areas

  • Front bumper and lower splitter areas.
  • Full hood or partial hood depending on budget and seam preference.
  • Mirror caps, headlights, and front fenders.
  • Rocker panels, door cups, trunk ledge, and rear loading areas.

Clear bra versus full-body PPF

Clear bra is the right fit when the goal is impact protection where damage is most likely. Full-body PPF is the right fit when the owner wants protection across every painted panel or wants a gloss-to-satin visual conversion.
