I'm a bit partial to them myself also. They look good on that first pic if they didn't have the 'toblerones' (best description - lol bsting!)

GoingFast are REDICULOUS for their shipping prices outside the states. I emailed them as a possible source for badgeless grills for the group buy and they wanted $100 extra each item for shipping... sh*t heads. If you want business, be reasonable.

Can't be that hard to get one similar made up and elastisized to fit snug ....only thing about bras is the rest of the front will take hits from stones...leaving you with one immaculate strip of paintwork...

I reckon it would be easy to make, but I don't think I'd want to leave them on too long.... I've seen the alot of commodores that take damage to the paintwork because of the constant close rubbing from the material. It is pretty much worse when they are taken off...

I don't adore them. But I surly wouldn't mind it for practical reasons. e.g. use them on a long weekend trip.

Raymond let me know if you want to go for a group buy I'm in for one

I wasnt keen on them awhile ago. But it sure beats the look and cost of stone chips.

Since my VR is black i personally dont think it would look too bad.

I would be getting one beacause I would like to protect my car. Its NOT for looks. The beauty is that they can be removed for the city driving.

Tassie roads are great, but are poorly made and the councils attempt to "patch up" is absolutely ridiculous. The edges of the roads start to deteriate, resulting in loose gravel and tarmac. It only takes a truck or a car to hit that gravel and bam...full of stone chips.

Yeah, they're not for "permanent" use - I'd much rather stone chips than this happening:

Exactly what i mean! it ends up costing you more if you leave it on...
I reckon they would be a good investment for an interstate/freeway driver though...

I'd put my hand up for a group buy but I'd probably have no use for it when I get my hood made angry..

angry boser ftw

I just resprayed the car I Don't feel like getting stone chips.

Call me dumb but aren't car bras meant to cover the entire front bar of the car??

**rayray086** · 05-09-2008, 02:14 PM

I guess these ones try and maintain the original look of the car. Providing a compromise between looks and protecting just the bonnet, as bumpers don't rust.

A bra rather than a sloppy joe so to speak.
