With my car being a DD on the highways, i keep noticing small pits on the hood from rocks...

Ive never been interested in a bra before (thought they looked lame) but they suddenely became "trendy" to have, and since my car is black i dont think it would show up much...

but how do they work? does the lip on the windshield side actually deflect debris?

so you want one bc they are now trendy? lawlz.


and from what I've heard they can sometimes end up damaging the paint underneath worse bc things get caught under and rub around.

no i dont want to be trendy with it, my car is the opposite of trendy.

i keep getting chips on my hood, and i'd rather spend a little bit of cash on a protective item than repaint the hood.

i know that u need to take it off when you wash the car so u dont trap dirt under it.

i always thought they were fucking stupid.

notsogoodfeline

ditto.

why not get the clear ones that go on permanently? Doesn't look obnoxious and does the same thing

They look good til you take it off and the paint underneath is all fucked up. Your car. Hell put 56" rims on it too.

the clear ones are a nice option, but id just be covering up rock pits for good. Whats happening is when a rock hits, it breaks thru the black paint and hits to a primer of some kind, and leaves white spots...so white spots all over a black hood...looks obvious.

i didnt know if there have been advancements since they came out, or if those lips that stick up actually change airflow enough to keep debris away.

They work, but they will fuck your paint up... unless you remove it regularly and clean it as well as the hood.. dust/sand/dirt gets caught up under it and basically will spot sand your paint over time...

Just take your hood off. Then you won't get rock chips anymore.

Problem solved.

then we will have a thread concerning radiator support/valve cover bras...
