I didn't mention this on my first reply, but unless you're driving in a place where you are likely to get an inordinate amount of stone chipping on the front end (e.g. Rocky Mountain region), I don't see the need for car bras. You have to keep taking them off and cleaning to maintain the overall finish on the front end. Also, they don't protect the SAAB's glass headlight lenses which are the items most prone to stone damage.
