Is there any mask/bra that will fit TLs with the OEM kit?
Hey guys, I'm going on a road trip this upcoming weekend and need a bra/mask for my car.
Are there any masks or bras out there that will fit the TLs equipped with the OEM kit?

I haven't seen any and I don't recommend it at all. I had one on my old car and that sucker trap more dirt and scratches the paint more than it helped with preventing rock chip. The best thing to do is get a clear bra set up for the car.

No there aren't. The hood piece will obviously still fit but not the bottom piece. You could if you are truly desperate, remove the lower lip on the front bumper and then the brad will fit.

fyi, i've done it on my '99 TL w/oem frnt lip. i was actually looking for the upholstery shop in in the neighborhood to make the mod. it was mere luck that i met this manufacturer of masks for rvs. before that, he made masks for Porsche so this guy's credentials were impeccable. his shop was equipped w/the machines and supplies for the job. his shop was next to the upholstery shop that had moved. anyway, he added material to the bottom lip (identical to material used in the oem mask) and tabs to clip on the underbody. the pattern of the added material was custom. of course. the fit was snug, like jessica alba's suit in 'into the blue'. paid the dude $25 for the trouble (approx. 1hr) incl materials. he didn't charge me extra when i came back for added tabs for a tighter fit. he said he normally wouldn't do it but i just happened to get him in a right mood and saw the car was worthy of a nice fitting mask. it was certainly one of those right time, right place moments. i went to this trouble bec i had the mask before the frnt lip. at that time, i just got my car from the shop to repair the nicks from the time i had the mask off. otherwise, i'd go w/the clear option.
you'll find photos of my car w/ the mask in one of the meets in fuddruckers in so cal meets last year. it's a silver TL w/custom fogs (oval)>>> happy motoring!
