Best Bra
Fellow O5 ers....
Do any of you have a recommendation on Bras for the 05's. I am particularly interested in one that has quite a bit of mesh on the front to protect the grill(s).
I plan on driving from LA to Vegas and then LA to the Bay Area and there is TONS of road kill on those routes. So I am not neccessarly looking for a good looking Bra, I am more interested in effectiveness
(p.s. is there a spell checker on the forum?? I dont c a button for spell check)
Cheers
Brian

RE: Best Bra
You will really need a front end bra for that trip from LA to Frisco. I did that last Labor Day morning and because the road was pretty clear I was flying! About 80-85 most of the way. Ended up with tons of bugs and a few chips on my front bumper and even one chip on the hood. California's roads are torn up by trucks, especially the 5, and the 15 that you'll take to Vegas has lots of trucks kicking up gravel from all the construction!

RE: Best Bra
I got mine right from my ford dealer. After I had mine on i had two different people tell me that the bra will wear away the paint. is there any truth to this? i'm paranoid to leave it on now, but i think it looks good on, and i HATE bugs splattering all on my front end.[:@] i have also heard of the clear bra from 3M but i hear they cost like 700 bucks or something.

I though there was a clear 3M placstic thing you can put on your car to coat it? Anyone hard or know about this? or am I just spewing s#$%?

RE: Best Bra
I got the Ford Bra mainly to keep the damn love bugs from eating up my paint (We are in love bug season here in Fl). For those that don't know what a love bug is, it's a black bug with an orange or red spot. The damn things fly around in pairs for the most part doing the wild thing. During love bug season you drive through what it seems to be thousands of these damn things and the whole bumper and windshield are covered with them. These bugs do more damage to your paint than normal bugs. You have to clean them right away.

I was at Port Aransas, Texas last weekend, driving the Expedition(white) and those darn bugs are everywhere!
I swear they chipped the paint on the Expedition!
A Bra for temporary means maybe a good thing!
Later,
