lets see your bras...

...I've been considering getting a car bra for my 91 Z, which has some flaws on the front end that could be hidden by a nose mask. Can you guys (& gals!) post pics of your car bras and let me know what brand it is, so I can decide which one I prefer? THANKS! --John

A word to those looking for one as a "protector" so-to-speak, it did not work for me. I had marks on my car from it moving around. Looked like rubbing marks and it would not buff out. So IMO, these are only good for covering up flaws, not for protection. I also noticed the front hood cover flapping while driving around. This was a lebra model and it was tightly installed and adjusted. Just my experience with them.

Word of advice on car bras!
Only use them on a clean car, and take them off after awhile.
I brush mine off on the inside after I do.
If your car is always clean, and parked in a garage, it will protect the car.
I use mine on road trips, and yes, even going to a car show to enter my car in a show.
I have never had scratches from one, but I always remove it and clean both it and the car again.
I use the Colgan brand, as them are the nicest looking ones to me.
Kinda $$$, but worth it to me.

Good luck,

George

Hi llvll4l2c91350!
We have a '91 bird with the Sport Appearance Package, and we use the Colgan bra!
I do know that they make the bra without the Sport Appearance package too.
It will be hard to find, but we got ours on ebay a few years ago!
It cost us $25.00 plus shipping, but was lots more when new!

Good luck,

George
