MagnetBra installed..pictures...>

Everyone keeps talking about Magnetbra but never show any good pictures...well here they are.

Heat gun works well for the install and takes about 15 minutes. It's thin refrigerator magnet material, very simple design that works very well. The black molding helps keep it thieft proof.

I hope you don't have to slide the bra around to get it to align.
There is a great possibility of scratching the hood.

So you have to use a heat gun to stretch the material? Why do
you have to heat the hood?

how much is the magnetbra? is it really worth it and better than the regular hood covers from saddleman.com?

Is that the advantage of it?? Because its magnetically attached water and contaminants and **** wont get under and mar the paint?

My grandparents had a Le Bra on their escort and 2 years later when taken off -- the paint under neath was dull and yucky

Where did you buy your magnetbra from? Seems that after doing a search I can only find it at magnetbra.com is there other places that sells it?

ebay has them under maxima parts. i think i won mine for $32. i am a good bidder. i beat someone out at the last minute.

jeff- yours looks sweet, i have to say mine looks sweet also on sherwood green paint. i noticed in your pics that the molding was long enough to reach both ends. mine wasn't quite long enough. i have like a 1/2 inch short on each end. did you have to cut yours??
to answer someone else's question- you don'y have to slide it around. just roll up both ends towards the center and then move and roll out to see if it is aligned. i am gonna try to make some sort of center line mark on mine for even easier installation.
