I imagine dust and grit will get under it and start rubbing the paint after a while. So no stone chips but lots of lightly scuffed paint! |
Looks like water can get under it to. Seems to me that by trying to eliminate one problem (by the use of an ugly monstrosity) you just create another.

I think a stone chipped bonnet looks better than a bonnet bra!

There's more aesthetically pleasing ways to protect your nice new paint work without adding a bonnet carbuncle, Er, I mean bra. Check out the transparent films that protect but allow your nice shiny paint to still show.
Bra less.

Looks ok on your car but not a fan in general.
What is that sticker on the front splitter about? It looks like it's riding higher than usual not lower
