i guess i was looking for a hood cover rather then a whole front end cover.

which do you think looks better?

Full bra looks best. The hood piece looks funny. Not funny HA HA, funny peculiar.

Get a full bra. most of them if not all are two pieces, so u can sport just the hood cover if u want and u have the other piece just in case. the best of both worlds. and get a colgan...there about $20 more but much better(fit and quality)

I bought a LeBra and it ripped after a couple of weeks. I took it back, made $10 of the warranty, and haven't bought another one since.

I think it's a waste of money and time to maintain unless you live on a dirt road or something.

Just wait a year and have the front end repainted or something.

Using the nose mask protects your paint. I have no chips on my hood and a suprisingly clean bumper too. For a car with 60,000 miles on it, my paint is pretty much perfect.

Why would you want to repaint your front end for upwards of 1,000 bucks when the protection for it costs about 80?

One thing about LeBra is that dirt seem to get trap under it. Makes it into a sandpaper. I had it on my max back in 1999 for maybe 6 months. I got tons of tiny scratches in the clear coat. I would look into 3M clear film type of stuff.

Don't do a bra your just asking for trouble. it may protect your car from chips but over time it will trash your car. Dirt will get under ot and then water will also mix with, and its going to act like sand paper and will ruin your front end. But if you really want to do it go with the full bra, it looks the best.

You guys are right, you have to remove it and clean the area under it quite often.

IMO the bra looks tight. Yeah, you have to clean under it, but the look is well worth it. If you use Back to Black or some other type of vinyl cleaner, it looks leather. Anyway, it doesn't matter what other peeps think. If you like it, go for it. I think it makes the car look a little more agressive.

My 2¢
