"Have youall seen the pictures of the LeMans Sunset 350Z in Texas that has Longhorn horns on the front??? And a HUGE sticker of the A&M Texas Longhorns on his rear window???"

I'm surprised this guy didn't rearrange the letters of the sticker to spell SEXAT A&M (I saw a car with that version).

The bra is just ugly, but that's just my opinion.
Think of it this way , if the z is your girlfriend and you are driving it, would you still want her to put on the bra?? hehehe

Default Bra on 350Z

Through the last 50 years I've owned many new enthusiast autos. The hot "mod" fashions change regularly with generation changes. Bras were hot in the "60's and I had one (for the look). My new Chrome Silver Z wears one now because in the first 300 miles it suffered multiple indentations from road hazards (bugs and rocks). At the rate of damage during this brief period, The paint would be nearly removed in the covered area. Hence, the "Bra" is not an attempt to look "Kool" but an effort to save what's left.

Heres my opinion, the bra protects the z's front so that it would not be damaged by rocks and dirt and be ugly. But if by wearing the bra and the z would look ugly. what's the point ? hehehe

remember just a thought of mine. no offence

Default Oh...I'm sure

Oh...I'm sure we will all start to see the "rice" out there. Huge exhaust, huge spoiler, "sponsor" stickers on the side. Its just a matter of time. It makes me cringe.

what I dont get is...if your using the bra to protect the front from chips and whatnot in daily use, then when would you ever take it off?! Obviously not when you drive it bcus that would risk getting a chip, so when! Why dont they just make the car with the bra bcus no one would ever see whats underneath.

Just enjoy the car with its looks, you dont see people walking around in padding in case they scratch a hand or arm lol

Default Bra on 350Z

The point in using a protective devise, such as a "bra", on the auto is that it can be removed for special occasions to show. Even more important is that it preserves the vehicle for resale appearence.

Not sure about GTA3 but I have the Z concept in GT3.
Get all Golds on IB License.
Also you get it after winning one of the series in Professional, I forget which one.
Its the Z concept car. I have it fully modded, I think its at like 600+ HP.
I was playing with it last night turned the TCS off, was having fun drifting hehe

I have no idea about these 'bras' but after time wouldn't the front end covered by the bra not fade evenly with the rest of the paint? It just look weird when removed for that special occasion. Kind of defeats the purpose.

They look awful IMO, get the clear 3M or nothing at all.

I don't think there is a thing wrong with using the old style bras.

It's nice to hear so many Z owners who think like I do.

I don't think the traditional bra looks that bad either. I read another posting somewhere else where someone said that they don't put bumper stickers on their car and they sure as heck are not going to put a BIG sticker on the front of the car i.e., clear bra.

I know everyone says that it is the way to go, but IMO, it is still to new a product for anyone to predict that over time, this $1000 bra will not yellow, warp or stick to the car so it can never be removed.

I will take my chances with the $100 bra.

My 2 cents.

I completely agree. It's the same as elder people who have plastic on their couches in their houses. I don't get it??? They never take it off, so what's the point?

Keep the bra off, they're out of style.

Same here. I put on the bra for canyon/mountain driving runs, where the risk of rock debris on the road is greater.
