Default 06 Clear Bra Removal?

I have a clear Bra on my 06, My question is would you guys leave it on or remove? I know they are expesive but when the vehicle was purchased some kid detailed it for me and tore a few Holes in the bra on the bumpe with a pressure washer, they are small holes but are visable, at least to me. Keep or Take off, keep in mind they kept all rock chips away from my bumper and hood. So what would you guys do????

True...true, but are they really that expensive I have it on my wifes Murano and that puppy is never coming off, some kid that pressure washed my car at the Stealership and cut a 2 small lines in the bumper, they are about an inch each but I cant decide if that is enough to convince my self to pull it all off?

Could you buy a strip of Vinyl and give it a patch job so you wouldnt have to tear it off. I have one on my OBP 07 and I love it.

If someone screwed up your clear bra, I would make them pay to replace the part they ripped. My vote would be to keep it. I wish I had done a clear bra at the beginning.

Yeah u can barley see it, but at the same time me being the owner I see every lil thing wrong on my car, but nonetheless i know its a Sti and not a Ferrari so I treat it like a Suby that it is!

Yes, I love my Bra, I even have a little piece that came off on mine, but it was my stupid fault for taking it to the Hi pressure wash and getting too close to the car, it is where i plan on putting my V-limited anyways, so it covers it up.

Why don't you go to a place that does clear bras and have them redo just the bumper?
