Default Car Bra's? Who has one?

Hello everyone,

I've got a AUII S pack which is my pride and joy, it is only used on the weekend for enjoyment. I mainly take it for runs up the mountains or through rural areas. So i was considering pruchasing a car bra for it. Does anyone have one or had one? Are there any cons?

Cheers

Adrian

Make sure you wear saftey glasses when you put in on..........a metal hook attached to elastic hitting your eye isnt that much fun.

that being said, they seem to do the job they are designed for.......look like s**t tho.

I have one which I use for country trips. They definately protect the front of the car well, the only rule you must abide by is the front needs to be spotless before fitting it otherwise the paint will scratch.

They cost about $360, that what i paid for mine.
I am onto my second one.
They are very good for trips, but i get most of my chips around town, :'(
I always wash the car and put on a layer of wax before fitting the bra.
