Default Is anyone using a vinyl bra?

The paint chips are multiplying at a ridiculous rate and I've seen clear-bras get damaged with sprinkler water.

Is anyone using the vinyl factory bra or LeBra?

It doesn't look too bad but I wonder about convenience - on and off for washing all the time - and I wonder about effectiveness - it doesn't seem to cover enough.

Love mine and it take 10 secs to take off. 30-60sec to install. No chips yet. Had since new ..... coming on 4 years:

There are haters out there though. My wife and I like it. With my black G35 spoiler the car looks balanced with it on. But, it does look better with it off.

I use it for club events, when we get close. Also for the freeway where the gravel trucks roam.
In town, it's off most of the time.

Nice product .... fitment is great !!!

Nice ride - great pics!!! Black on silver actually looks good.
What brand did you get that includes the hood piece? OEM seems to cover only the front bumper, and LeBra seems to have ugly flaps sticking up on the hood.

I have one on my 06 and I've had no problems with it. Very easy to take on and off and it's definitely saved me from some nasty chips.

Blooster - This one is manufactured by Colgan. ~$120 with the hood piece.
Turn signal area is covered with thick clear polyvinyl. The whole thing is felt backed and trimmed with edging. Nice .....

Use a little 303 on it and all the bugs just wipe right off. Non-stick slime sauce. If the bug count get a little high use Windex then reapply a coat of 303. The 303 will protect it really well for years to come. I had a factory NISSAN for my 300ZX and the quality of this one is 4-5x better imo.

Next, I'm looking for silk panties to cover the headrests with.... Lol !!!

Thanks very much for sharing, Z D. I'll definitely look that one up.

(Great emoticon!)

Follow-up . . . for anyone searching forums for bra info . . .
Got the Colgan bra and had to send it back.
It fit perfectly and looked really slick - EXCEPT that there was no way to attach it with my custom grill in place.
Sad to report they don't make a version that will fit my grill.
