Yes it is but before fitting one I recommend putting glad wrap over the front of your car so that the bra doesn't rub against the paint and leave marks or allow dust in and scratch it
It also makes removal and clean up of the car far easier

I just picked up my Car Bra from Australian Car Bras. I asked her about scratching as I had heard recently from another member about this occuring and she told me to use the glad wrap too.......must work then.

Mmmm, a nice trip soon - go buy an ECE (UNECE) hazard warning triangle (see my SIG) and keep a note of any new point to point camera installations now underway on the Pacific.
AutoOne now sell an ECE27R triangle for $22.95, cheap insurance. The Hella unit is best, the BMW item folds away to almost invisibility! Damned good.
