Nice Bra!
I am talking about the kind for the front of the car. I have a 1980 and was wondering if they will scrach up the paint? Are they a good Idea for trips? Where can I find one less expensive? Anyone have one they want to get rid of?

if you value your paint job, do NOT get a bra.......
well, unless you just think you look really sexy in it, in which case that's a personal issue you may need to look into if you aren't a woman.

MOST of the problems people have with using a Bra are:
Improper fit - don't buy cheap! or:
They leave them on after long road trips or after a rain. Big no-no's. Wash, polish and wax the car, be sure you have a felt lining, and good fit. Take it off after long road trips and/or a rain storm if you are caught out in one.
I use one on all my vettes on long road trips. Haven't had any problems with them at all.

I said it before, and I'll say it again,"I like my cars like my ladies, BRALESS!!"
I had a high dollar Wolf bra on a Camaro once and it fcked up the paint really really really bad.

700 dollars!! It is a Maco 1500.00 paint job. I think I will just buy the Mid America for 100 bucks and try and get by. Perhaps I would do the expensive one when I repaint in a few years.

I have a bra on my C3. There's only one reason I have it on there right now and haven't taken it off yet:
I'm afraid that the bra is the only thing holding the front bumper together.
The previous owner smacked a wall or pole or something with it, and cracked it. Within 3 days of getting it into our driveway, the left side of the rubber stops fell off. A week later, when I shifted the bra trying to check vacuum lines around the headlights, the other side fell off.
The bumper's getting replaced and the car's getting a paint job, so it can stay on until then, but once I get the new bumper, that bra ain't goin' back on!!!
