Any Nissan dealer for $100.00. Got mine there and it fits and looks nice.

If you want to get a high-quality front-end mask (bra), you might want to go with a Colgan Custom. Very good quality and they offer the best warranty.

They also offer bras in carbon fiber style as well as mirror covers.

Peace.

Not sure if you're familiar, but invinca-shield.com offers a 3M clear bra. I love mine - virtually invisible.

I second the invisible bra by 3M. I wouldn't have anything else. I'm going to get some extra film and even do my side skirts at the doors.

You can get the kits or film at these places:

www.invinca-shield.com
www.stongard.com
www.xpel.com

The xpel.com site also sells the material in bulk if you want to try your hand at making your own, or for other little bits of the car you want to protect. I made my own, saved about $30...but next time I'll buy it precut.

You probably don't want to get the clear bra unless your car is brand new because your paint would be flawless. Since your car is an '01, I guess you would probably have a good number of stone chips on the front already.

I have the Colgan bra that I used for about a year, except in the winter. I'm selling it if you're interested. It's in great condition with no tears or scratches. I just need to clean it a little bit.
PM if you're interested.

Your paint doesn't have to be flawless to do a clear bra. The decision really comes down to this:

1. Does removing a bra every time you wash or it rains not bother you?
2. Do you like the look of black canvas covering the entire front end of your car?

If the above sound good to you, get a normal bra. Otherwise:

1. Get touch-up paint and apply light multiple coats with a toothpick
2. Use Langka (www.langka.com)
3. Clay bar the front of the car
4. Apply clear bra
5. Enjoy

My front wasn't perfect and the results are awesome. Touch up the existing spots and have a protected near flawless front end that is protected with a near invisible bra.
