I want ot get a front end bra for a trip I'll be going on soon. Anyone have any opinions? Do they damage your paint? Whose best, Wolf or LeBra? Two section versus one? Thanks for any inputs.
Heres the problem with car bras, espeically if you park outside. The paint will be different shades when removed, it will look newer where the bra was, and where it wasnt will be more faded.

they hold water.

I only see a purpose in them if you have a c/f hood and your traveling down a highway to prevent stone damage. But then removed after your traveling time.

EXACTLY! i had a hood protector on my cavi last year. was always damp and dirty underneath it. had to take it off and clean it and the hood once a week. the only upside was that it was preventing my hood from getting chipped to hell like it is this year since i don't have the hood protector on. i had it on from july last year to oct. and it didn't fade the paint at all.
if it's just for a trip you're going on and are willing to spend the money on it for just that i'd say go for it.

SO EVERYTHING!
Thanks for the advice. I was planning on using it only when I go on highway trips. Most of my everyday driving is in town and a bra is really not needed. But on the interstates, the trucks, rocks and road debris can be pretty bad.
Both women and cars look much better without bras..

I had the whole front end bra on my 04 Sunfire for about 3-4 months and I made sure whenever I washed the car to take it off but after a while I started notice lots of hairline scratches and abbrasions in the clearcoat from the dust and sand and whatever else gets stuck under there so I got rid of the thing before it ruined my paint and more
not worth it.

Got one on my Z. Never had moisture problems. If you leave it on and it rains, the instructions even tell you to take it off to dry. Instructions tell you to take it off to wash the vehicle. As far as fading goes, not on my car. As far as brands, I have a La Bra.

Steve Wood a.k.a. Blue Cav Customs used to have a magnetic bra on his hood. You can see it in his CarDomain site

I don't like bras but this would be the one I'd get.
if bras were meant for cars god would have given them nipples
Bras can cause the hairline scratches and minor surface scuffing that Adam mentioned. I had a body shop estimator tell me once that you shouldn't tell your insurance company that you had a bra on the front end if you are ever in a *minor* fender bender -- I guess they get skittish about covering paint scuffs that may or may not be from the accident. It's hard to prove either way...
Just my 2-cents.

You can't avoid the rock chips. Enjoy your car while its yours, bras look so bad, even if its for a short time. You're only helping the next future owner. Try some painter tape to mask the front end on interstate driving, I've heard it works well and is easy to deal with. I'm doing that on my next trip.
