Smile NBP TL-S 2007 with Black Bra *Pics

As requested, I'm posting some pics in different angles with the Black 'TL' Bra from Acura. Let me know what you think. I drove up to Erie from Pitt, and I think right now, there are about 800000 flies on the BRA, but none on the front of the car.

I'm liking it. Any problems with flapping in the wind? I'm seeing it with a blacked out center section

Honest opinion?...UNCLE BEN'S!!

I know it was made for the TL...but it just doesn't "make" the TL! Follow me? But to each his own.

Just saying cuz you asked...

**edit** If you ONLY use it to catch flies on the highway...go for it! But after you get home...GARAGE IN A BOX!!

Not a fan. Looks out of place. Get the clear bra, it looks 100X better and protects just as well but won't scratch your paint like the leather bra will when dirt gets under it.

This is what it looks like after a nice drive from Pitt , and it doesn't flap in the wind.





But... notice, no bugs on the top of the hood

I gotta get me a clearbra just to drive to work! Friggin rock chips from I270 construction! Maybe I'll get one of those until I can afford it...NOT! LOL! It might mess up my grilles!

but at least you're protecting your paint from all that road debris, or roadkill it seems. hmmm do splattered bugs count as roadkill?

And to think, all of that was from one trip down to Pitt. I had my car washed by the dealership just prior to going down there!

Never again!!!

Save your money and get some PPF (ie. ClearBra). If I were to drive a long way (~500 miles) I would probably get an ugly vinyl bra to put over the clearbra just to keep all the bug juice off. Otherwise, it is the PPF hands down.

Thumbs up EXACTLY what I was looking for!!!

Thank you pravin.george!

Those pics are exactly what I was looking for.

I have to drive down I-4 in Florida a lot for work and the love bug season is god awful this year.

I will be purchasing one shortly and keep it on for the duration of the season (2-3 months). I will be sure to clean underneath the bra so no scratching of the paint occurs.

yea i mean this is great for when you're gonna sell the car.. because i would love to see this on a car im about to buy... but having it on while i drive is a big no-no IMHO...

but yea if you ever get some money together... put a grand down for some clear-bra and you'll be set !

I know right? That's the thing! It totally takes over the TL like a gigantic glove. I ain't gonna front, after seeing that, and getting flashbacks about previous trips, I would put one on to go down the road with.

BUT...and dammit I mean BUT...as soooooonnnn as I take the exit where I am going...I hit a shopping center parking lot or a gas station and that monstrosity comes off, goes into a ready-plastic bag, and nobody riding with me better tell anybody it was on! Or they walking back!

If I were to take that thing off every time, it would be really annoying, not to mention that during bug season, with that nasty amount of flies, it would be really really difficult to touch that stuff. I'd clean it, and then maybe remove it -- but to take it off at the 'first shopping center' that would be really difficult, not to mention disgusting. Then I'd ruin the interior

My 86 Camaro had a bra on the front. Now all you need is the Louvers on the rear window! ;-)
