the car bra, yea or nay? Options

[axelrduvirage]

is there a good fitting bra out there for the 6gc? has anyone installed one? do you think it looks good? i am really thinking about this 'cus the nose on the Celipig is NOT sanding down well. too amny rock dents, cracks and chips. or should i order a new nose?

[Sh0gunkid8721]

if ur goin for looks, then the bra doesnt really help much, but if u wanna prevent the chipping and care about ur paint, then i say go for it. its a matter of what u want. thats my opinion

Eh, the bras are lame IMO. To me the idea of protecting the paint is pointless, cuz then i dont get to see it...and whats the point of protecting the paint so that i cant see it? I guess if i was going to sell it i may, but thats it. The bras ive seen just dont compliment the celica well.

the bra will protect the front of the car from bugs and whatnot, but will ruin your paint in short form if you dont remove it EVERY time it rains.

also if you ever want to take the bra off the paint will have faded differently, won't look so good even though it will have less damage

Only would place a Bra when I would go to a Car show in which I want to compete. It would save me some time cleaning her up again after a 150 miles (100mph) drive. Other then that I dont think its usefull.

Like the plastic cover that is over a New phone. Its there to protect but eventually it goes of and still leaves you with minor scratches/buffs!

for going to shows I would try this mate, unfortunately we can't get it in the UK because another company uses the duplicolor branding so they aren't allowed to have UK suppliers.

I say, buy a few cans, paint the entire car, then just wash it off whenever you want to show it haha.

p.s. I may ask one of you guys or girls to try to get me a couple cans of paint from this company and ship me it over (have to be surface mail though cos not allowed on airmail I don't think.) would anyone be willing to do that if I paid for it in advance?

[FreddyTheOthaMea...]

I actually have a bra on mine, covers up some minor cosmetic blemishes and doesnt look too bad... I can take pictures of it later if you'd like... works good to hide the CAI at least

[vsideboy]

why do you want to do that mate? Surely the more air the better?

My celica before I started mods. I personally think it looks nice with the bra on. See for yourself.

Yep, I think it looks good. Sorry I can't provide ya with the make or model of the bra because I got it off Ebay slightly used, without the original box for $8.00 shipped. I like it cuz it doesn't have the ugly flap thing on the hood peice like most other celica bras I've seen. It's very clean & still in great condition but I have no idea where I placed it. Plus, it's only for the 94-95 celica front bumper so I don't think it will do ya any good.

that flap is to prevent rocks from hitting your windshield

[Toyoca]

i have a bra somewhere. i wonder if its toyota.

[drummerboi]

hey man, if you are not going with a body kit, I think it would look really nice. just think of it as a hot chick with small boobs that wear push up bras, even small boobs look good in push up bras.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned this, but I'm a huge fan of the clear bra made with 3M material. At most angles you can't tell it's there, and it prevents those annoying chips on your hood and the leading edges of your fenders. I also had the guy do my side view mirrors and under the door handles where your fingernails scratch the paint. I bought my Scion tC new, and took it straight there to have it done. I'm waiting to repaint before I have my Celica done. You can find them in the phone book and they cost less than 200 dollars usually. If you want the bumper done, too, it costs more, but I just went with the metal parts. It was about the same cost to get the bumper wrapped (lots of curved surfaces make it expensive) as it is to repaint it if the rock chips get really bad. A little history on the clear bra: 3M created it for the Air Force during the first Gulf War. We were having problems with our fighters and helicopters wings getting chipped up from the sand blowing around on the ramp with the jet blast of aircraft moving around. 5 years later they decided to market it to protect cars.
