I have the $200 bra and think it is great. I am careful to keep it clean and there has been no paint damage. A big plus for me is that it also protects the radiator and
oil cooler. I have the clear stuff on the front of the rear fenders and seems like it may protect the paint, but rocks still chip away at the plastic and you end up with road rash. The clear stuff can probably be replaced and you still have protected paint underneath. Don't really know how that might work.
