Default Thoughts on Front end masks?

Otherwise known as a car bra. It is that time of year and bugs are out in full force! My truck is a daily driver and I am tired of having to scrub bug guts off my front end! What do you guys think of these? Anyone ever had one? Are they worth it? Any problems?

your truck looks way to good to put a bra on it.

The fact that you refered to it as a "front end mask," when its called a car bra, tells you that you don't want it

I dont really get them. You want to protect the paint, but then you cover it up, and you cant see it, whats the point? You're trying to preserve paint you wont see with it on. I could maybe understand those 3M clear bra things, but not by much. Its a car, you drive it, ***** going to happen. You just do the best you can to keep it clean. IMO.
