Question Best Bra

What's the best fitting bra for the CL? I'm just looking for one to use when on road trips and save some paint chips. Does anyone have pictures of their CL with a bra (please post the brand too)? Thanks!

Only CL bra I've ever seen is the Acura 2 piece hood and bumper one.
Here's a pic with just the hood part.

Be warned, it's a royal PITA to put on & take off. I have 1 & only use it for road trips.

Same here. I've only used it once. Where does the bra snap to under the fender though, I never figured that out?

I've got a Acura OEM bra but have not used it.

THe best bras that I've come across are Colgan Customs. I've had one for my 300ZX and also a Toyota Avalon. They fit great and are made with very high quality materials. Colgan is a lot better than this Acura OEM one.

The Acura bra comes with these 2 screw in snaps. You take out 2(1 on each side) fender clips & replace these with the supplied screw in snaps. The bra then snaps into these on the sides in the wheel well.

if you're starting with a good surface. If you've already got damage, I'm not sure if I would go the clear bra route.

I've been afraid to spend all that $ on the clear ones. I've seen cars with them, & in a few years of FL sun, they yellow. I was able to pickup the lines of them also. That would really bother me.

note the faint line about 3" above the drivers headlight. this stuff is great!

^ The lines are very faint, I've seen that in person. I didn't know the bumper was clear bra'd until it was pointed out to me.

I guess that's why I never found them. Think Acura might sell just the snaps?

Clear bra is the other option I've gone with one other vehicles. 3M is based here in MN and I have a friend who's dad is a scientist for them so I may be able to get a decent deal through him. They're great for little chips but I'm not really sure how well they work on bigger stuff like a real bra might cushion.
