Removing Clear Bra From Project Rallycross Focus

Our final to-do item was motivated by self-respect rather than speed: Using an eraser wheel (available at most auto parts stores) and Prep-Sol, we scraped away the tagged and tacky-looking clear bra that a prior owner had stuck onto our Focus. Underneath that damaged film we found shiny, new-looking paint. To complete the makeover, we washed and waxed the car.

We want to keep our freshly polished paint from accumulating any more damage, so we installed a set of Rally Armor mud flaps. The manufacturer offers mud flaps for lots of popular cars, and universal sets for everything else. Installation was accomplished with screws and captive nuts.

What ever happened to this project? I read through this prior to getting my SVTF and wondered with it cutting off a few years ago now.
