Default Le Bra

Hey guys I'm just wondering what you guys think of putting a bra on the front end of my 88 stang. I've seen them on fox body mustangs and I really like the way they look. I'm just looking to get some feedback to make my decision a little easier. I already bought it and I don't want to install it till it gets warmer up here(Wisconsin) because they say it installs better in warm weather Any comments are appreciated

ben, if you take your bra off and let the sun get at it, it will go back to normal... this happened to me a couple months back, it was soap from carwashes....

If you are going to use one, be sure to take it off when you wash it, or when it gets rained on to let it dry out OFF the car. Otherwise over time you will get a fade line in the paint from the constant moisture. I would never buy one for looks, only to protect the front fascia from the rigors of constant highway driving.

But if you plan to install it and leave it constantly, then plan to leave it forever

o sorry, i like the part that goes on the hood only. i dont like the full face thing, i threw that away. but installation is simple its like 10 minutes. everything snaps into place and latches on to other things

I think any and all bra's look terrible.

I would NEVER EVER EVER put a bra on ANY car I EVER own.

IMO, cars look like *** with a bra. I would rather deal with chips in the paint. As for the bug deflector, YOU GODDA BE KIDDING! That will look worse than anything on a stang. They are ok on trucks, but not on a stang. [sm=icon_stickpoke.gif]

Thanxs for all your input--good or bad!! I might just put the hood cover on and see what it looks like with my headlight covers. The hood cover comes off pretty easy but the rest of the cover looks like it would be a real pain in the a** to take off every time I wash the car(which is pretty much every weekend). Keep the comments coming if you have any--I appreciate them!!
