No bra.

It will hurt the paint and make the paint scratch which is bad.

yeah you dont want one on your car...they belong on women...anyhow i had one on my car & the only reason i had it on there was to hide the paint cracking & peeling off of it...it just lays dirty under there & lays wet...really a pain in the azz...in fact it only made the front of it worse then what it really was...so stay away from them...but to answer your question "LeBra"......its you car to with what you want....just my .02

I wouldnt put one on my car, over time the paint under the bra will get scratchted up and the paint on the rest of the car will fade and if you take the bra off the colors will be all different.

Why cover up such a good looking front end? Besideds, they do more damage to the paint than they protect it from.

meanwhile....

if your in Taiwan, your front end looks bad and you cant get parts or whatever to make it look nice...

LeBra is the brand you probly want.

dont leave it on in the rain, keep it clean under the bra both on the paint and the back of the bra, keep it tight so it doesnt flap..


do all that and the damage will be minimal.. athough it still may hurt the finish.

I am also thinking of a car bra to put on when driving to and from college (twice a month, about a 2 hour drive)
How long does it take to put one of these on/remove one?

once you have the hood part adjusted and get the hang of it after one or two times, you can put it all on in under 5 mins and take it all off in under a min.

Cool, it would probably take about 10-15 min to put it on the first time then?

Oh and the bras on women... I dunno I kinda like the way the wonderbra works on them...
