Acura Nose Bra?

Hi, I was wondering if anyone had a nose bra on their second gen CL? Not the 3M clear one, but the old-school leather ones? If so, could you post some pics and details on where you got it... thanks!

Same here only for road trips. Got it at the dealer also. It's such a PITA to put on & take off.

I use mine for road trips too....but haven't used it lately because it's a pain to put on and off....and I try to keep it off if it rains, or at least take it off right after it rains.

thanks for the help, guys! I just bought a full nose bra on ebay for $60... i thought it was a pretty good deal.

I'm probably going to put it on this weekend, so does anyone have any suggestions/hints on how to make it easier?

Don't put it on cold, leave it in the sun or at least unfolded for a while... makes it a little more stretchy and helps a lot.

Make sure the car is clean when you put it on too. Never install it on a dirty car. Like BlueCLS6 said though, stretch it out in the sun for a couple hours first, your life will be much easier.
