You can't put a bra on any car without making it look fugly. Sorry.

they make clear bras, its like a lamination that goes along the front of the car. its easy on easy off. i wouldnt use a bra personally because they tend to wear into the paint.

Thanks, I feel the same way about bras, I guess I'ii just have to deal with rock chips and bug guts as they appear.

this was bought at the dealership.. has grand prix across the front... i actually got alot of comments on how it was the only bra that looked decent on a car.

Unless you get something to cover your whole front end, your whole hood, and your mirrors, you're going to get chips sooner or later. May as well avoid the ugly bra. Unless your front end is f*cked.

They trap moisture and dirt and hold it against your paint job. Plus they look like hell

im gonna get the clear laminated one when i get f1 hood and front bumper repainted
I think those generic black ones look like hell, no matter what the car.

^^x3!
Bras ruin your paint over time like these guys are stating. Best thing to do is keep more distance from the car in front of you. The only thing I would use to protect my paint would be the clear coverings. 3m Clear Bras and bulk film sells those types of things

Thanks for the input, I guess I don't have to worry about it now since a Fedex truck came over the center line while I was passing and messed up my mirror. I didn't care for the black bra look anyway lol.

i just put a bra on mine 2day. i think it looks good, well alot better than it did. i got it cause my front end needs a paint job and cant afford a paint job rite now. but sure enough when i do have money for a paint job the bra is coming off.

Dont drive it, problem solved

I work at a dealership and the item we use the most is 3M Clear Bra.....you cant even notice it until your up close with the car.......I am not sure on the price but it looks so much better!!

^ I agree. Get a clear coating. As I and others have stated before a bra will make the paint fade really well on the front end and traps moisture. I might check into the clear coating.

Destroys the paint? I beg to differ. My GTP had a bras on since 98 and the paint under it is fine.
Removed it when I bought the car and the damage under the bra is no worse than damage passed the bra. (hell look at my sig. That pic us unedited)
Have since installed it on my SE

do you know if there is a bra for the "Pignose" version bumper cause its got some paint chips and its not that stylish anyways lol i have a 2000 grand prix SE
