Simple solution is after every trip take it off and clean the felt. These car bra's don't do damage at all I have one - http://www.carbra.com.au/ Cost me $295 colour coded. Spraying my front bar for another reason cost me $400 and this also save's your headlights, radiator and intercooler from sh*t. Best thing I've done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The front bumper is so far unscathed though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are by far the best value for money item you can buy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
