Modifying your car looks cool, but it's not all about simple aesthetics. Many customizations have more functional purposes- they can make the car run faster or smoother, for instance, or help to defend your car from any damage- if you've spent a lot of time and cash on your ride, the last thing you want is for all of that to be ruined by scratches and dings.

Take Smoked tail lights, for example. Putting a tint or smoking your lights makes them darker and less see-through, which looks good, but it also protects the glass of your rear lights from scratches. When putting these on, however, you should be familiar with your states laws regarding tinted lights. Some states ban Smoked tail lights, so make sure your customization plans will be street legal.

Clear bras paint protection systems may not be quite as attention-grabbing as Smoked tail lights, but they get the job done. In this case, the job is protecting your car's paint from scratches caused by debris on the road: small pebbles and debris flying around, which can cause a lot of scratches and tiny dents in your car. The clear bra is a transparent film that goes over areas that can be damaged by road debris, like bumpers or side mirrors.

Over time, these small collisions may become visible as scratches and small gouges in your paint job, leading to a very expensive repainting session at your car shop. A paint bra system may be an additional initial expense, but in the long run, it'll save you the money you lose getting costly paint repair jobs. And when your Clear bra system has taken enough punishment, you can peel it off to reveal the unscratched paint underneath, and just replace it with another film again.

But sometimes, even with all this protection, you'll still end up with some annoying small dents and dings in your car anyway. But don't worry so much about it- these dents don't automatically mean a lot of money spent on dent repair and repainting.
