Default damn nissan bra!!

That's right--you heard me--that damn bra I and my female friend put on was a *****!!..

I didn't want to get my Eddie Baurers khaki dirty so she involuntary got on the cement ground to install the bottem bra.

This bra is a PITA (pain in the ***)

Getting tougher to put on and off when weather gets cooler. Once I got the hang of it, I have no problems but now I have to leave it out in the sun or leave it under the hatch glass to warm it up a bit.

Yes...the first time is quite an adventure. Sweating like a pig (and I'm in pretty good shape), I finally got it on. After you drive with it on , the heat will help it stretch and you will find it much easier next time.

Yes thx

Btw, do I need to take the bra out everytime I want to wash the car or can I just take it out every month?

definetly remove the bra. (damn sounds look good advice in general terms...cars or not) Anyway, I have the same one. They "say" that when it gets wet and it shifts even slightly back and forth because of wind over the nose eventually it'll dull the paint. Also, you'll get dirt, sand, crap under it and that will also contibute to it more or less "sanding" your paint dull. Sounded like decent advice to me, so I havent tried to prove the theory wrong yet. Anyway, just my .02! Hope it helps-
Later

A friend of mine had a bra on his '85 300ZX but never removed it. Eventually, it bonded to the paint - not good. I would avoid the bra most of the time unless you're taking a road trip.

Also, sun gradually fades your paint, and you want it to fade evenly. If you cover part of your car with a bra, that paint won't fade, and eventually, it will show.

use a blow dryer to heat it up. Need 2 people. One person to tug while the other heats the bra up. +1, it is a pain.

I do. 98% of the time in the last 8 months. No issues, no scratches. I wash once every week and take it off to clean it. I have a Colgan Bra. I took it off last week just to drive without it. Didn't tailgate anyone. Have 7 very very minor nicks. Put it back on since.

The nissan Bra will destroy your paint if you have it on for any length of time. I had mine on for the whole summer and when I took it off the damage caused by it required a trip to get a repaint.
