    Well, I read some threads specifically about the magnet...I'm concerned about leaving it on for an extended period of time, which I will most likely do. I really don't want to harm anything any more than it already is....

    Any kind of removable bra has a chance of causing problems with the paint, so you might look into the 3M invisible bras or simply take it somewhere that does wrapping and have them apply one of their thicker materials.

    And with a wrap, you might even be able to get something relatively close to the paint color .

    I have the magnet one also...actually on my second one.

    Wash the VX good before install and give it two or three coats of GOOD wax.

    I have not had any damage issues and I make sure never to get water under it when washing the VX.

    This has been my experience with this product.

    I had some mottling under my magnet bra but was able to remove it with a rubbing compound & lotsa elbow grease. There was no permanent damage to the paint.

    If you're interested in one of the Magnet Bras, I have one still in the box that I never put on. At the time I bought it, it was still being promoted as an install it and forget it type of application, but over time that proved to not necessarily be the case so I never tried it.

    Too bad GTS or some similar company doesn't make a tinted plexiglass hood deflector like the one I used to have on my Tacoma. Never had any problems associated with the paint using that type of protector.
