    I installed the factory black bra on my 2006 and found no difference. I drove with out for a while then installed, mileage was the same...

    You might want to consider a transparent film that is applied to the hood. It's almost invisible and after 18 months of highway driving (much of it on northern winter roads with lots of sand and salt) it looks as good as the day the dealer put it on. Mine was by 3M and if I can remember correctly it was called Clear Bra. It was not inexpensive, but does a great job.
    Unlike the leather bras, dirt can't get under it and snow, ice and car wash blowers have no effect.
    All the best,
    J.
