[DeTomaso] NPC: 3M Clear Bra

[Michael Shortt]

We used it on the race cars behind the wheels to help control the
sandblasting of the paint on the bodywork, a real pain to get it off and it
does yellow if it stays on long enough, but it works
as intended.  Personally I wouldn't put in on unless I lived somewhere where
flying sand and gravel were an everyday thing ( then I'd be looking to move
away as well ).

A version was also used on 944 wheel areas and every single one I have seen
is yellow, covered in black textured tape ( a la 930 ) or simply removed and
never replaced.
