what are your thoughts about the use of a nose bra? does it hurt your paint? is it a ricer thing to do?

 

get a clear bra

 

+1 for clear bra.

I think the regular ones take away from the look of the car. You may be able to pull it off if your color / color scheme is right though.

 

I just use mine when I know its going to be a messy drive. Want to get a clearbra, but there are so many other things i could do with that money!

 

Bras are for girls.

 

I bought my 06 Z used and it had a bunch of paint chips on the nose, I put on a Colgan Custom bra to cover up all the chips untill I can save up for new paint. My Z is silver and I think the bra looks good. I really dont think it looks ricer at all, but I also think it depends alot on the color of the Z. Randy

clear bra

 

Those leather nose bras are best suited for 1980's pontiacs. I think they do more harm than good by retaining moisture against the paint and causing uneven wear (e.g. sun etc.)

 

if your smart about it and use it the way the leather bra is intended,it works good-i think a clear bra all beat up looks worse than the paint does.

 

I got my clear bra at the dealer, and if it gets damaged they are supposed to replace it. That is why you pay $500 for it! I love it. The best thing I could have done. Now I have peice of mind when I end up behind a sanding truck


You can wax it and it blends right in with the car unless your close. I am extreamly picky and have a bad case of OCD when it comes to my car and it doesnt bother me. So in short I would strongly reccomend it. Worse comes to worse, pull the sucker off and you dont have to worry about any dust or grime getting in it like you would with a leather bra.

 

3+++ for the 3M clear bra. I have it on my car! Bought it when I bought the car 5yrs ago and it still looks good! What makes a 3M bra look good is the fact that you can't tell it is there unless someone points it out to you. You usually can't put it in a picture because of its clarity. I love mine. Just wish I could get paid for liking it so much!! Just kidding.

 

pics?

 

Sorry for the dirt, its been siting in the garage most of the winter and theres still snow on the ground. Randy

 

+1 on clear bra

 

I have an extra leather bra I don't use if anyone wants to buy it.

 

Get a clear bra, but make sure you get a good warranty. Mine is yellow as hell now so I'm stuck pealing that sh*t all off. HUGE PITA.

 

I just got my front redone done with all chips, etc. taken out. Bought a nose bra, but won't be using it now. Going to have the clear bra done. Will sell the bra for $50, that's half price. That's if anybody's interested.

clearbra is fine if your car is brand new or like new; if it already has a few chips and nicks, that would have to be taken care of first. So the price difference is pretty large. Just something to consider.
