i dont mean to hate, but that front bra does nothing for your car.

if you are hiding a yellow bumper underneath, i actually think that would look better than that bra.

Yeah, no offense, but the bra does look a little weird? Especially in the grille area.

I too, hate to be negative, but that bra makes your front-end look a bit ugly. It is poorly fitted and takes away from the character of the car rather than adding to it. Again, just my 0.02.

I know you have done a lot of work to your car, and I applaud that, bu I am not a big fan of the bra, either. Those air blocker (?) things are huge. I bet they cut down on your mpg on the freeway.

The exterior looks nice and I like the triple gauge pod, but I think new seats should be your next project.

Keep up the good work

Rest of the car looks good, but I'm going to have to agree with the general consensus that the bra is pretty ugly.

On the good side, your wheels look to be in good shape, and I like the Double Din Bose cassette/CD in your Maxima. My seat also has a torn area-how are you guys fixing yours? And no rust in pictures!

if you like the bra, keep it on
I dont necessarily like it or dislike it, but I think it might look a little better if you didnt have that piece going from the bumper to the top of the grille; maybe just tuck it under the bottom part of the grille and pull it tight or something

nice car though - cant go wrong with a black VE5
now you need to change your sig and get rid of the camera phone pics

What's not to like about a fake leather bra? Maybe his max is a little shy OO . Doesn't like to be exposed. Hey, is that a passport 8500 on the glass? Nice choice, I usually keep mine right below the rear view mirror at about eye level. I don't know if this pics up more radar or not.

sorry gowireless, i didnt mean to rain on your parade and begin the bra-bashing..

i dont dislike bras, but i just feel as though that particular one doesnt fit as well as the others i have seen. i myself have a oem bra and i think the fit is a LOT better. if i had a pic, i would post it... but i dont.. sorry.

it is your car though, so by all means, customize it how you want!

You have a pretty clean looking car, cant go wrong with the black! I do have to agree with Craig that the bra would probably look better without the center piece though. I'm curious, how much of a difference do the ported heads make?

Wow, I think I was probably the first person to see this post. And I thought, I'm not going to reply because its not my car and I don't have to like the bra. But I can see that everyone else has picked up the slack for me. Anywayz, other than the bra your max looks really clean. And your wheels are definietly in really good shape. Keep up the good work.



Oh, do you think you might be able to take some pics with out the bra, just for comparison?

tell you what ill take the car bra off and take some pictures for comparison purposes, but it will have to wait till this damn snow melts away, give it a few days to dissappear and ill take it off, wash it (the car) and detail it then snap a few pics for ya for argument sake, if majority thinks it looks better without it then ill consider it ! i dont wanna run around with an ugly or rice car.

oh and civickid, dont even think about it ....

The way I look at it, it really doesn't matter HOW your bra looks - as long as it does it's intended function, to protect.

Yeah, you can have it look good and protect the front end, but it can also look like @$$ and still protect.

I know that's probably not much of a consolation, but in the end, as long as you like it - run with it!

(and here's a stupid question - why do people block out/smudge/photochop their license plates when posting pics on a public forum?? I kinda know the answer, but wanted to hear someone else's)

I have a full nose bra on my Max, but I purchased it from Nissan, so it fits really tight and does not have the center piece over the grille.

Just curious, are those guys located in Washington? It's redline goods or something like that right? (where Randy bought his). I saw an ebay auction of theirs one time and the location was around here
