Default Clear bra.....

I had the entire kit: hood; front bumper; left and right front fenders;head light bezels; front of both mirrors; the concave of outside door handles; and the top of the rear bumper, where there is just a small slot in which to place your fingers to fully open the trunk.

Anyway, I bought a new 2007 NBC and in October of the same year I had this entire 3M kit put on. It was pricey for the entire kit, but I wouldn't have it any other way. Cost me $842.00. Much cheaper than a new paint job after getting all those rock chips in the hood, fenders, mirrors, etc.

I used to have a '78 Rabbit(wish I still had that car)and I had a black bra onit...worst mistake I ever made, well one of many bad mistakes I made. The vinyl bras look neat, but that's where it stops. In all actuality, when ever it rains you are to remove the bra. Condensation does wonders to paint. Also, if the wind gets under it and the wind WILL make its way under the bra, the wind will buffet the hood and you will end up with nasty looking lines across the hood. And one other note...they look like ca-ca when they get torn.

I highly recommend the 3M kit to anyone who has a bug. IF you love your bug as much as I love mine...you will treat it with kindness and respect.
