my bumper cover has some sanding and and bondo work done to it but its not painted over yet should i put a bra on it or not

Normally, I would say no, please dont put a bra on it. I can't stand them. However, if its going to be a couple years before you get it painted, I would put one on to protect the nose. If it's only going to be a few months, I wouldn't worry about putting one on. Do you already have the bra or will you be buying one? The cost of it will have to figure into the decision as well.

if you already have a bra o.k. . if not no . after paint no ,no,no, no bra. .

I dont know how long it is going to be b/c I have to get new doors and a hood so it will prolly be a while and the bra only cost like $35 at advance

Id say get it because it's cheap and it will protect but as soon as you get your car painted, burn that thing. I'm not at all a fan of bras on are cars.

NO BRAS!! Not a fan at all - not on cars or well in doubt women

I actually disagree with all of you I wish i had a bra for regular driving and just take it off for cruises i knew i wasnt going to scrape anything on because this is the outcome



you can plainly see the scrape marks from just regular driving into parking lots etc

Only in America do cars need bras lol.

Well in doubt women? How about well-endowed?

you make a good point.

Well in doubt women should probably wear a bra. Bras on cars are usually covering damage not protecting from damage.

not really,a bra is very thin vinyl and would not keep the paint protected from a scrape like that.
I remember hitting a steep drive in my old car (87 iroc) and scraped the crap out of the bra and the paint.
I was left with a huge piece of the bra dangling down in the center and yellow scuff mark instead of black paint.

if it is damage..then yes i would throw a bra on it but after the paint job take it off..i bought my fbody a year back after i totaled my old one and the guy had a bra on it and left his car outside and when it rained or snow the water sat under the bra and now i have a rusty mess underneath it that i have to fix

If you get one follow the instructions that came with it. I had one on mine and I didn't, silly me. Now I have rust on the nose of the hood, hopefully not bad enough that I need to replace. It also dulled the paint, and the nose bra needs (at least the one I had) to have velcro strips stuck to the bumper in front of the headlights.

Just thought I'd add that. If I ever have one again, it'll come off every day. I thought I was taking it off enough but I guess not

you must of it that curb pretty hard to rip threw the bra too the scrape on my car was only a slight touch and it scraped it i think i bra would of saved it.

and i wouldnt keep it on all the time either just certain times i know im going on some crappy roads.

i have a bra on my bonneville, it looks good on rounded cars, not on squared cars, my uncle has a bra on his 86 maro and i don't like it. bras do help protect, i bumped into someones trailer hitch receiver, it punched a hole in the bra but did not scuff the bumper at all. it probably saved my bumper. so they do help, but i don't like them on our cars, so i say no.

Saw on bra on a early 80 cutlass today....

maybe I need to go back to English class....

speaking of cutlass, a buddy of mine owns an 1985 Cutlass supreme, awesome car. sorry for the ADD moment.

Wanted an early 80's cutlass, but couldn't find a decent one.... Had to settle for the Regal.... Had in the past a 79' cutty and a 81' cutty --- but NO BRA!

Definitely, but as soon as you paint it...








Burn baby burn!

My dad used to have a regal with the landau top, back when he was 18. it was a nice car, oh and it had no bra, and my buddy's cutty has no bra either

i vote no on the bra if its permenant..for a few months till you get the front end in paint...sure.

overall, dont dig them, think theyll kill the classic good looks of the front end
