#1
i was thinking about putting a nose cover/bra on my car. ive heard that after a while it wheres spots on your paint. is this true? if so how can i prevent it? i think this will also help with scraping bug guts off the bumper. agreee? thanks.

I bought a LeBra for my '93 SE because I wanted to cover damage to my front fender. One thing I can say is that it's really good for long trips. The problem with Maxima Bras is that they tend to flap around a lot at highway speeds. I modified mine to lessen this effect though. The manufatcturers even tell you that it will cause your paint to stay newer looking while the paint on the rest of the fades if you keep it on all the time. I don't care about this since my car body is going in for a $4,000 overhaul after the first of the year.

as long as you keep the inside of the bra clean and the car itself clean, then you won't have any problems. I've had one for almost a year and only notice dull spots where the bra flaps on the highway.. that can be easily fixed by adding a few simple tie-downs underneath.. I'm just too lazy to do it.
just make sure you take it off and dust/clean underneath it whenever you see dust collecting.. that's what will damage the paint the most is stuff getting underneath then rubbing constantly.
also be sure to remove it in the rain. if not, it will hold water against the paint and you'll ruin it. (seen it happen ebfore.. not a good thing)

it didn't flap when I first installed it, but it flaps like a **** now.. the elastic straps have stretched some and they don't hold it down well now.. all I've got to do it re-do those straps and I'll be fine.
