That would probably serve the purpose (and avoid the aforementioned
issues), but I liked the look of the vinyl cover a lot better... sigh,
and I thought only women made sacrifices just to look good... (j/k!)

I have seen posts in the past indicating that when the bra is removed when
it's time to trade in or trade the car--the paint under the bra is of a
different shade or color than the paint on the rest of the car. The sun
and weather causes the paint on the rest of the car to fade but the paint
under the bra is never exposed to the sun so that paint does not fade. In
other words--it's hard to resell or trade in such a car. As one poster
said--the problem is compounded in those area where there is lots of snow
and salt.
