if you don't keep the car clean the bra's can scratch the paint and if left on for a long time the paint that's under the bra may be a different color due to fading from the sun, there was one in the classifieds here some time ago

I had a bra for the sixth gen available but sold it a couple weeks ago. Colgan Custom has very nice quality bras, that's what mine was.

+1 on the Colgan masks. The only company that make one for the high sports appearance package. I have one for my 03 - but it's my show car and it never see rain anymore. I put it on to drive to car shows. I bought mine from autoanything.com. Takes about 2 months to get though.

Ditto.......


It's also a very good idea to leave it out in the sun for 15-30 minutes before putting on for the first time. If you need it in a hurry you may need to use a blow dyer on it. This thing needs to stretch out.
I also prefer to call these "Nose Covers". They aren't supporting anything.

Yes this is very true. The warmer the sunlight the better.

Dont do it man, being a Detailer myself I seen the damage they can do. Unless you wash your car weekly without the bra. I would recommend against it.

If you do decide to do it, just keep it clean.

They are good for sunny day roadtrips (like Amy taking her car to a show) but to keep on all the time it's not worth it.
