Car Bra?

[Witchywoo]

i know i'm probably sounding like a complete doofus but i have never seen or heard of a car bra till I came on this site.

when do you use them and why?

[dnyed]

For a long drive, they protect the front from rocks, bugs, and things like that. We don't leave it on at all times. Plus, they look great!


The official name for a "bra", is "Front End Cover". I like "bra" batter.......

thanks for that. they look quite unusual if you've never seen them before!!

We leave ours on all the time. It's there to protect the car from rocks and other debris, and to hide the minor dent in the hood caused by a hubcap that was kicked up by a semi on the freeway. We remove it every so often for cleaning and haven't had any damage from it.

Ditto !! Mines on all the time , cept when she gets a Bath , and then the bra gets its bath too least once if not twice a year she gets a good coat of wax to help protect the paint as well

I used to think the same thing until the front of our Beetle got damaged by road debris.

yeah i can understand that. i hadn't had mine for an hour when a truck sprayed me with rocks and chipped my windscreen in 2 places. can't see any damage to the paint work but prob won't till I wash it.

Hey bra owners ~

Where did you get yours at? I have a fellow NB that was inquiring about where to pick on up at and I have no idea!!

Thanks a bunch!

DTB, just where in the PNW are you? We must have you join for a GTG!

BTW, we bought ours right at the dealer. Or, you can check eBay, or here in the classifieds. Or many places on the web.

My mother-in-law ordered it online for me as a Christmas gift.

Bugzzi's original parents gave me their's when I bought her. I put it on for about a month 2 winters ago (winter in California...?!) It rained really hard and got windy one night and left black marks right above both of her front tires from where it rubbed and the rain soaked into it. They're still there! I would only suggest it on long road trips... not for everyday driving- but that's just my personal experience with mine.
