Acura Bra

Man this thing is a BITCH to put on!!!!! I got one, & finally installed it because I'm going on a long road trip. It does fit great, but was a pain to put on.

The first time is always a little tight.

It will loosen up over time.

Do you have a pic of your car with the "hood bra" on? I was thinking about doing that myself, but not sure how it would look.

i think after the initial installation, it will be easier to install because it stretches a little.

i had a bitch of a time with the hood part straps...i could get one on, but not the other.

so after the 10th try (and probably a lot of stretching and "breaking in"), it went on.

The overtime part is very true...

The first time I put mine on --- it took over 2 hours and was a pain in the booty.

There is no question it stretches over time.

One suggestion for you first time putter-oners...let it sit out in the sun for awhile to loosen up. It makes things a little easier but not much.

After about four months I can get it (both pieces) on in about 2-5 minutes.

Hang in there.

Dude, he says why in his post!

He is taking a road trip, wants to protect the front end
from paint chips & bugs.

I don't really like the look of a nose mask, but it serves a purpose. Here's a pic with just the hood part installed.

You get use to it after like 10 times. it also strechs as you keep it on more.

Try starting from one side then working your way to the other. start at the wheel well.

Thanks for the pic. It actually looks better than I thought it would. Thanks again
