I just purchased a very clean and lovingly maintained '98 NA2 with 28k miles this weekend and drove it from Las Cruces, NM to Dallas. Long-time previous owner kept the car waxed and clean, and used the OEM bra frequently for the last 18 years. Close inspection revealed no scratches or unusual wear. The paint and finish were flawless, and the very clean/like new bra fit the car perfectly. I quickly decided to use it on my 640 mile drive. Re-inspection revealed no issues after our 10 hour (very dry) drive through west TX. My impression is that the OEM bra is a great option for dry runs on the highway, as long as the car and bra are clean, with recent wax. I'll certainly use it in the future.
