The clear bra really isnt tape as you are probably thinking of it. It is sheets that are made specifically for your car and can be bought at xpel.com (i think) along with a few other places (do a search online for clear bras). I have heard the Xpel one is great and all you see is a line on your car on close inspection. I would love to get one but have a regular black bra and havent had any of the problems listed above and have used the bra on and off for 211,00 miles. I usually only use it for the love bugs but its great. I def. recommend taking it off to wash the car and after you drive your car in the rain so it can dry. If i were you i would get the clear bra, although it is more expensive and is recommend to have it installed Good luck
