front bra question

does anyone have a pic of their car with a bra in the front?
i have scracthes on my front bumper next to the lisense plate and i was wondering if the bra would cover that up.
it's only $110 so i figured its better than paying for a paint job or getting a kit. any help out there please?

I have seen a few shots, am looking for them now.

I know I would like to have the full front end traditional vinyl mask for my car, but noone makes one that will fit the body kit lip of an AE.

You're welcome!

Yeah, I know...I ahve actually been tempted to get one anyway, get some additional mask material (not sure from where...maybe a donor mask) and patch in what is needed for the contours, but I have not been that bored or lacking for other things that need to be done.

Doesn't seem to..maybe a different manufacturer has the logo rights if you want it.

sorry one more thing

since you have to take it off after it gets wet, is that going to be a hassle?
i think taking it off would be a pain in the butt.

I had one on my '93 Prelude when I lived in Southern FL. Daily rainstorms in the afternoon, etc. The hood portion is typically very easy...just slip it on and attach a couple of bungee type pulls (usually). From what I have heard of the Max front ends, the rest of the mask can be trickier, at least at first until it gets 'stretched' to contour to the shape of the car better. The BIG trick for any mask is to do the initial install on a warm day after letting it sit in the sun for a couple hours to get more flexible.

It does NOT

Cover the whole front bumper. I have the 3M one and it stops at the apex of the curve of the bumper wrapping from the "front" to the "side".

Clear bra

Get a 3m transparent bra. More expensive, a little more work to get it on but worth every penny and drop of sweat, in my opinion.

I bought one, its kind of a pain to get on. its good to have two people put it on. also I had to cut out the spot were the license plate goes since there isn't one.
