Does anyone know anything about this or has anyone purchased from this seller on Ebay? It looks too good to be true, but I checked the seller's feedback and it was all positive, not a single negative.

The clear bra stuff by reputable mfg's works great. Of course it costs 100's of dollars too. I've never seen anything like this for $8! And I've never seen it advertised with a bikini babe either, for that matter.
Well, I'm a sucker. I just purchased the "full kit." In the "less than full kits" it doesn't really tell you what you get.

Can you e-mail him (or her) and ask who the mfr. of the stuff is? If it has a warranty?

Isn't the actual shipping about $3-5? If so, that makes the product really about $20, but that's still way cheap.

Not a single negative, but read the comments:

"the part does not fit.Wasted shipping $"

"arrived as promised"

"Item arrived promptly, great seller to deal with"

"Product looks good, have not installed yet"

"Looks good. All positive. Will install later"

"Item sent quickly"

"Item recieved. Can't wait to get it on my car"

"arrived as promised - but you need an applicaotr?"

"delivered as promised, haven't installed yet"

"super fast shipment. cant wait to get it on the car"

and my favorite:

"have to leave a positive because it is what I ordered, WISH I HAD READ IT CLOSER"

A lot of the comments say it is a great product, but no one actually says they have installed it.

I'm kinda amused that this ebay store only sells 2 items, the Clear Bra for your car and an erotic strip dance video.

I just took the leap, and will figure it out when it gets here. The "full kit" would be pretty heavy, so I don't think the $14 shipping cost is over the top. Total cost for full kit delievered at $30. I figure it was worth the risk.

Yes, I read all those and was pretty surprised to not find anybody who's installed it before leaving feedback? Crazy. I figure just the material alone is worth more than I'm paying, so what the hell.

And yes, I find the merchandise mix amusing as well. What an interesting combo!

I noticed all of that, too and was surprised that no one had installed it yet. And a half naked woman marketing the "clear bra" - now there is a new idea - NOT!

For those of you who bought one, please report your findings!!!

It's gotta be legit; just read what they wrote for the eBay Police:
