Bendon. Really, bras may stop rock chips, but they also trap dirt and moisture, resulting in fungus & rust. Our work 4WD Mitsubishi van had a bra which was left on for years. I told the procurator to have a look underneath it. Eventually he did, and the bra was never seen again. You won't find MY van wearing one. If you DO use a bra (on your van, that is), remove it and clean it & van periodically. Also ensure it's a snug fit. If it flaps or vibrates in the slipstream it WILL wear the paint off at those points.
