Bra's...I think that went out of style shortly after Sir Mix A Lot's "My Posse's on Broadway"...they can do more damage if left on. They are best suited for road trips if you ask me

Mine never came off in the winter and i didnt have a single scratch or scuff from it. The OEM one fit like a glove and didnt flap or rub on the paint. Now that i dont use it my front end looks like shit

Can't really stop the bra from moving somewhat at highway speeds and that causes the paint to wear. Get a littly dirt behind the bra and you have a real mess on your hands.

Oh Hullow
i dont see the point of the bra ... u use it to keep the bumper free of scratches... but if you keep it on the car looks like crap anyway and nobody can even see your scratch free bumper .. waste of money.. clear bra ftw

I haven't done it yet, but my buddy put it on his Intrepid and 300M.
Works Especially well in the winter to save your front end. Mine looks like SHIT now

my freinds 98 accord had a bra that was on for a few years, when he took it off it was moldy from water getting underneath and the paint was rubbed down to the metal on the hood and a little rusty, as for the bumper..dont even ask its to painful to look at lol. this may be an extream case but i think the bra ruins the paint more than it saves it

I think only the hood piece looks good.
I got mine of ebay for 50 bucks (as opposed to 160 at the dealer) and I think just the hood part looks on tight on a WDP.

Full mask on I think looks ugly on 99-01, and Im generally not a big fan of full mask.
I just use the hood piece, I think it really dresses up the car nicely.

anyone have any pics of a 02 tls with a full bra on it?
My front bumper is f'd with rock chips, peeling paint, and a small crack and i dont feel like getting a new bumper cause im only riding this car out for another year or two.
i dont think it will look too bad on a silver tls with black tinted windows and hid fogs.
