Where to get rear wheel arch factory clear bra?

My 2006 MR came with clear bra material on the leading face of the rear wheel arches (Right between the door and the wheel). You can tell its really there for a reason as it is all dinged up. Mine are beginning to look like a real eye sore because there is dirt migrating behind one of them. My car is pretty much flawless except for that one area. Plus my car is white so the dirt really stands out.

Can I get an OEM or aftermarket replacement? I guess the other option would be to clear plastidip the area, although I doubt it would be no where near as durable.

I know I am not the only meticulous OCD weirdo around here so this has to of come up before and there must be some solution. TIA

Photos would be helpful. Your description is detailed but I still can't imagine the part you are looking for.

I know the part. I would think best to go to a place (like a tint shop) that does clear bra installs. They should be able to cut and apply for you in the area. Maybe even use your old one as a stencil if it's not in their computer system already.

Just take it to a shop that does wraps and ask them to re-do it.

i doubt you'll be able to find that part, and taking it to a shop will be far cheaper

you can also buy the kit at autozone, remove the eye sore, clean the area real good, tape it off and spray it.

I am waiting to repaint my car, once I do, I will add the clear bra kit from 3m to protect the paint. No bra since purchased and have traveled to Illinois from texas, then to arizona back to illinois, illinois to Texas, and texas to illinois. Still more travel to be done, so who knows where to next.
