hey guys

I may have just screwed myself. I didn't know where else to ask... I just put a bid for a front end mask for my old celica. I hope this isn't off-topic (let's pretend i am buying it for my maxima) and the bra seems to be crumpled. I know it's made of vinyl and I was wondering if there was a way to straigten it out? Here's the link... please help me out w/ this! thanks

btw, i know the bra is just draped over it but I have an OEM bra that came w/ the car and even when it's just draped like that, it isn't as wrinkley as the one in the ebay pics. I just realized that concern.

 

Maybe one of those steam machines applied from the back might work?

 

Lots of bras are like that new. In the picture, he didn't snap it down all the way so it's not hugging the bumper. Once you fully attatch it and drive around for a little while, it will all straighten out. If you are very picky and would like it straight from the start, trying ironing it.

If its been in the box for a long time, then it will be crumpled. Put it on and drive around with it. The wind will straighten it out.

 

ah I feel much better now. Thanks guys, now I just hope I win this auction.

 

My front mask came in a 18x10x3 inch box. Looked worse then that one did. Just install it correctly, in the sun, and it will lay flat. That pic just shows the mask sitting on the car, not fully hooked down.
