A new alternative to the traditional leather bras are the transparant thin plastic material made by 3M. Most window tint installers will install this film over your cars surface that protects from chips and stone damage, without fading and is invisable for the most part. It uses an adhesive to stick to the car to keep sand, dirt and dust from getting in between the bra and your cars surface ruining the paint. There are kits out for the 06 Civic that are pre cut to match the bumper, hood, head lights, and fronts of the side view mirror. You can install your self, but I hear it is a little difficult so you may want to have it professionally installed. I have a kit that I am going to try and install myself when I have sometime. I only paid $24.00 for the kit, but if it doesn't work out by me installing it, a professional wants $400 to install but to me its worth that to have it done.
