Honda has been putting very thin paint on there cars for several years now. Even the Acuras get the thin paint deal. They must be saving money on paint so they can help fund building jets...

If I mess up, i would probably be SOL (sh*t out of luck) and would to buy a whole new clear bra costing me more money.

Sorry, not sure what you're asking... I just took the car to the shop and they installed the bra for me.

Personally, I think the clear bra, while effective looks horrible when it has been on there for awhile. Especially after the car has been waxed! My brother in law has one on his new TL and I thought it looked sucky!! Of course, just my opinion.
