I remember someone talking about an invisible shield you put on the front of your car instead of using a car bra.

I saw these guys at the Brisbane Motor Show:

http://www.trojanvehicleprotection.com/Stoneshield_info.htm

The stuff is very hard to see. You wouldn't know it was there unless you were looking for it.

The guys was saying they have templates for the standard Soarer front bars for about $650 (from memory), and are guaranteed for 5 years.

If you had an aftermarket bar, the price could be fairly high, as you may need a custom cutout of the stuff (if they can't use the standard pattern).

Hope that helps someone out there in Soarerland.

Sure is a lot of money for something you can't see.

Yeah it is pretty pricey, but I suppose it's aimed at people who would normally buy Car-Bra's which are also pretty pricey, and look crap.

I'm definitely not going to run out and get it done for that price. I'm pretty sure it was $650, maybe $550, but still pretty expensive, but a good idea anyway me thinks.

$650 is nothing compared to a good respray, especially in pearl!
But I dunno, how will it look in 2 or 3 years?

OK.. I saw those invisible bra's in the states.. but they were no where near $650 ...I'm going to assume its thet price because its has to be custom.

They dont look very good in my opinoin.. there is a guy who has one down the street on his car.. I think it looks like crap and would take tke black LeBra any given day.. I know the ivisible car bra for my car would cost about $50... crazy

Is this the invisible car bra you were talking about?
