Good point. Don't forget the bras for the two sponsons. Kind freaky thinking about a bra with 3 cups though. In a pinch I'm thinking maybe this blue painters tape. (wide version) It's specifically designed to remove without damaging.
I have had this product on my Hyundai Azara that was installed by the dealer when I purchased it new. It's called Clear Bra, and is invisible unless you look close. I have had this on my vehicle for the eight years I have owned it, and it has kept my paint like new. Since I now live in Florida, I'm no longer exposed to the gravel they used on the Colorado roads I used to travel, and I have removed some of the smaller pieces that covered the back of my outside mirrors. It was easy to remove, and the paint looks like showroom condition, with no residue left behind. It is made by 3M, and I would highly reccomend it. Here's a link.

I have the same thing on the front hood of my cavalier but it turned a grayish yellow after about 7 years, on our white car. The edges have collected dirt and grime and are very noticeable. It's not that easy to remove as we had a corner come loose and tried to pull it up a little to trim it evenly and that didn't work. I would never buy a car with that on it again. I would rather pay extra for a real bra as the cost is comparable.

Since my car is black, I wouldn't be able to see any yellowing, but the I can't say any of mine has loosened in the eight years I've had it. The little portions I have removed from the back of the mirrors didn't show any yellowing, and while I won't say it comes off easy, it does come off with slow lifting preasure, but it did require a little effort to remove it. I doubt a real bra would last seven years in the florida heat any better.

I tried the search function, to no avail, but I am planning on making the trip from Michigan to Louisiana, in order to do the factory tour, watch my Elio get built & then drive it home! I am SERIOUSLY worried about getting home, getting out of my brand new Elio, just to find chips in the paint from the drive home! That thought is not sitting very well with me & I would really like to see a custom auto bra option available at time of pick up! I'm going to email them about that now! :)
Just use one cup of a 38DD Playtex living bras.. That's oughta do it..

Keep as many gadgets as possible to the after market folks as all this stuff adds cost or make options as add ons to the base price for buyers that cannot live with out I-ports, ports for this or that , back up cameras, Bluetooth , etc., etc., RB

Or This:

This is way cool!
