I just put one on my new SE. It seems great. Best part is no space for any debris to get under between the bra and the paint. Also, it goes on and off without a hassle (after a little practice)

So whats it made out of? Is the magnetic sheet covered in soft cloth or what? Also, does it seem to be srcatching or anything?

The magnetic bra is ugly IMO. The top piece of the OEM Nissan Bra looks nice. However like I've been telling people in the forum the bra is bad for the paint be it leather or Magnetic. More sun comes in contact with the rest of the hood and car than on the surface which is covered. Rain dries up and paint gets discolored under the bra. The solution for a cool look and protection from rocks and bugs, the car deflector.

It is made out of durable plastic to withstand the worst hits from rocks, etc.

Rain can easily flow through the bottom not leaving any moisture behind.

and, it's made of back transparent plastic to let the sun shine through and keep the entire hood the same color.

www.summitracing.com has it the cheapest but you have to wait a while because they must back order it for you.

theirs an auction on ebay for a magnetic bra - http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/aw-cg...628959&r=0&t=0

'Flexible magnetic sheet forms a tight seal that keeps out water and grit. It will not cause abrasion or oxidation. The magnetic bra can be left on a car permanently with only a few minutes of maintenance per month. All that is required is to lift the bra and wipe underneath with a damp cloth - once a month, that's it."

It's made of the same material that they use for signs on the sides of trucks, etc.. Its a plastic material coated over the magnet sheet. You have to be careful putting it on but once its there its not going to move or scratch. Heck of a lot better than paint chips and I can take it off in two seconds.

It sounds strange, i think i'll stick with my standard Nissan nose mask. I only use it for long trips anyway.
