Is anyone familiar with this brand of car bra?
What are your thoughts of this brand vs. the Acura/Honda?
I'm under the impression that they are the "original" makers of car bras.

I'd love to find the Acura branded 2004-2006 full mask. Maybe someone has an unused one sitting in their closet?

I forgot to mention, they make a Carbon Fiber looking one.

Not sure about this yet or how it might look on the Royal Pearl Blue.

Carbon Fiber


Standard

I have it and it works just as good as the OEM.

Haven't used it in awhile though. If you have a A SPEC kit, it may a little modifications to make it fit.

I really enjoy this bra, look nice and ties the front end together.

Thought I'd share the pictures of it installed.

Really want a wing spoiler to further tie it together ...

^Looks good^, when I bought my 08 I was able to talk the dealer into giving me an OEM one, it looks pretty similar to yours. I think they are great for road trips. I drove my car from socal to Jacksonville then all the way up the east coast and I think it saved the bumper from a lot of wear and tear. Doesn't fit with the A-spec lip tho. I would sell my OEM one, but it has the openings for fogs in the lower grills.

TM, I've got the OEM bra and I like it a lot. It is the Carbon Fiber style too. And for me, that's just a bonus.

I've had car bras on all my cars , I prefer the way the front end looks with them...looks naked without a bra.

I don't much care for the A-Spec look and most of my drives for work are 60+ miles each way.

This one is the carbon fiber version, but didn't show up too well with a cell phone picture, I'll take better pics with another camera.

I would never keep that on my car permanently, but I would tolerate it for highway trips / driving during Florida's love-bug season.

It looks like it covers the headlights -- does it effect light output?

90% of the time I leave my driveway, it's a long trip.

I cover an 11+ county area.

I prefer to keep them on, used them for over a decade on various cars to no ill effect.

There is a clear plastic piece that covers the turn signals, nothing covers the headlights.

I like the vertical line that divides the parking from the headlights.
