Never heard of it, but that never stopped me before...



Pros:



 - Bulletproof

 - Keeps gravel, etc. from scratching the paint.



Cons:



 - Unless you get shot at, #1 above isn't too big a selling point

 - Gravel scratches in a lexan bra will look just as bad as those in the

paint

 - Little bushings in contact with the paint are very likely to make little

bushing 

	shaped scratches

 - How do you raise the headlights?

 - How do you open the hood?



And the #1 con...



 - It's BUTT ugly!
