Default Bra / Clear stuff

Hey everyone,
I'm looking to get a bra for the nose, where did you get yours from? Also, is there cleartastic stuff available as an alternative? What do you all use?

Funny you ask...I just got one from Ecklers two days ago...I got the "mini nose mask" since I didn't want the full nose mask...it costs $84.99 but I told them I was at the NCRS show and I got 10% off plus free shipping...came to $80 and change since I had to pay sales tax...

I had to take my whole front clip off my 86 and have it repainted. Because the previuos owner thought it would be a great idea to put a bra on it and destroy the paint. Rock chips or paint damage? Your choice.

I also have the mini nose bra on mine. The previous owner put it on there and I know he got it from Mid-America. I think it looks alright, but I need it to hide the paint chipping off the bumper until I get that fixed.

I searched for a while to find one that didnt use velcro on the sides and fit as tight as possible.

I ended up getting a LeBra version from Autozone... somewhere around $80. You can see pictures of it on my website.

Good point..it never occured to me that folks don't know enough to not leave it on all the time, especially if it gets wet... ...I've never had a paint problem with one used properly, as in, not left on the car permanently...

I have the 3M Paint Protection on the front of my car and behind each wheel. It's works great! I have no chips in the paint at all where it it applied and you can barely tell it's there (You have to be within a couple of feet of the spot to notice it).

That's the only kind of bras that I'm interested in, mainly their removal!

Had a fairly pristine front end on my car. Bought the clear bra stuff by 3M and had it installed. Ck google for your area to find out what's available. And shop hard for it; prices will vary greatly. Avery Dennison is another mfr. Had it on another car and it worked very, very well. Highly recommend it.
