Right at this time in 2005, I got my '03 GPW with 12k miles/ never in the rain. Decided to keep it "perfect" and spent the bucks on the Clear Bra on the entire front end. 5 weeks later, I hydroplaned on the Peeay Turnpike.....needing replacement of bumper, fenders and hood.

The only "clear bra" covering that's left is on both side mirrors

Congrats on YOUR new S....hopefully your luck will be better than mine~

When my front end got messed up by a semi tire tread that dropped in front of me at 80 on I-20, my insurance covered replacement of the clear bra after the front fenders, bumper cover, and hood were refinished.

Just a word of warning about clear bras, though. I don't know how long the original clear bra had been on but the body shop had a hell of a time removing it. No way it could have been removed without doing serious harm to the paint.
