   they were designed for a reason but have become more of a fashion accessory now. Each to their own though.

   Never really liked them, heard some scratch the paint? Not sure about that, I know it's for stone chip prevention.
   
   I don't really like the look, think it looks shit, out of place, however, some can pull it of, ‘dan-subtle's’ furio did it quite well.
   
   I wouldn't get one for the look though, function over style for bonnet bras.

    personally I'd rather pay for a respray of the bonnet every few years if i was that anal about the paint.

    its not for looks though, its functional, stops stone chips so it doesnt matter what it looks like.
    
    Just a shame they are made so poorly, i bought one and it scratched my bonnet alot, and yes it was fitted to a clean (freshly polished car)
    
    Would never bother buying one again. Clear paint protection film ftw

    We live in the UK ffs, we have motorways and A roads, we're not an un-developed European county where the roads consist of rubble and gravel tracks.
    
    If you use one in this country without valid reason, you're a cock and you're car looks the same
    
    /end rant!
    
    PS: It probs wouldn't look as bad if they matched the colour of the car, but they don't! :|

    I had one to protect my 3k paintjob.
    
    And yes we have A roads etc but there are still bits on the road getting thrown up by other vehicles which can cause nasty paint chips.

    Id rather pay for a bonnet respray once a year than drive around looking like such a pleb with one fitted
    
    Although I wouldnt paint my bonnet either as i really cant be arsed to worry about 'mint freshly waxed paint'

    I laugh when i see them, theyre as bad as lexus lights.
    
    They dont do a hole lot fo agood for preventing stone chips either. All the cars ive owned enevr have stone chips round that area . Current car has a few but a bonnet bra wouldnt do anything, and thats done 116k miles of uk roads. If i believed they helped, id have to get one that covers every panal of the car.

    well i love mine and it's staying on, no matter what anyone thinks. I drive 64 miles a day 5 days a week and got a shed load of stone chips on my bonnet around the grill area. I had the stone chips sorted and wanted a bra to protect the bonnet as i knew it would happen again. It hasn't scratched my bonnet either so i'm pretty happy. Buff it up every weekend with leather cleaner and job's a good 'un

    Why not? Alot of people have "wasted" thousands more just to make their car a little faster than other so why not spend a lesser amount (in this case 3k) to get a car looking immaculate?

    Totally depends on the colour of car.
    
    Also some people actually use em for the purpose they were created which is to get from A2B without chips, this could also be done using tape but that looks plain shit!
