RE: new A6 and bra experience

["Todd Kinsfather" <tkinsfather@earthlink.net>]

On that note, has anyone had any experience with the diecut "Stoneguard"
brand of applied front bra? I am familiar with the headlight covers but am
skeptical about how much advantage a thin film bra would give. Too much
moisture here for a real bra.
