any tips for installing bra?

I have a one piece wolf bra for my 92 RS and am having a really hard time getting the thing to go on. Does anybody have any tips that might help it go on better or easier? I cranked the heater up in my bathroom and let the bra sit there all day to soften up but it didn't seem to help much. Thanks!

put it on during the day. when u put it on, use a hair dryer or something like that to heat it up and make it a little easier to work with. dont drive very far with it on the first couple days. the next day, it shouldve loosened up a little. readjust it to make it fit a little snugger. 2-3 days like that readjusting it and it should get a good snug fit.

I left mine on (until recently) to cover up the primered front end. I made my son take his off his car because it was eating up the paint.

you beat me to it!

if you value your paint you will leave it off, it's unfortunate that these cars are almost impossible to keep the front from getting marked up if you drive it. it's a small price you pay to drive........but if you use a bra, your paint will be damaged.

I don't particularly like bras on cars, I don't think that they add to the appearance. I would not even bother with leaving the hood portion on.

My car looks better with it on, 'cuz my frontend is messed up. It covers the dent in the hood and peeling paint nicely , and matches my top. Now when I get my car repainted Viper Red with Heritage Stripes... it gets a one way ticket to the trash can.
