Just when I thought the bra was bad, then I got to the side mirror covers...

I actually kinda like the red lug nuts. Never seen colored lugs, very unique. Those side skirts look good too.

You need to hit "Return" after each picture.

Get a clear bra.
That thing ruins your otherwise beautiful car.

I have to agree. You are masking a beautiful car. I have a clear bra on the nose and mirrors of my coupe. It keeps the paint perfect, and looks great.

But what is the point if you never see it?! I've always thought that one would be better off taking the $400 spent on a bra and putting that towards repainting the front fascia 10 years down the road when it might need a refresh.

Looks good James unfortunate the lip had to be modified to work with you're wheels. I just don't get it, I've sold a ton of these to guys with bigger wheels with no issues

Either way, came out great!

Too bad for you. I drive mine every day on I-95 and need to keep the front from getting sand blasted - or worse. Mud Flaps are next, for the same reason, to protect the paint around the fender wells. I also put black door edge guards on - guess what for.
