Question Bra good or bad?

Ok when i first got my car 4 yrs ago i was retarded and hit a mailbox and busted the passenger side part of the front clip and where it meets the fender. I have had it fiberglass patched and it doenst look to good and i was wondering if this bra would look good to cover it up. this bra is on afterthoughtsauto.

i bought my old car with a bra on it only to find that the front end was pretty badly smashed behind it. Never thought to check this out before i bought it but i guess thats why it was so cheap lol. My dad and i pretty much rebuild the whole front end and looked good as new. I think the bra is very unatractive and stucks out like a sore thumb. Just my .02. I would just repair the damage

I'd spend the extra money and get a "clear bra".

i think it looks awful. i don't care how bad the damage is. save the money you'd be spending on that and put it towards fixing the damage.

bras don't look decent on anything

it is the single most unattractive thing you can do you your car (that anyone would even consider anyway)

but not only do they look terrible and super gay, they also ruin any paint they touch...drive your car into a brick wall at 40mph and it will still look better than having a bra

My car had a bra on it when I got it. It was holding the fender together. I got a new fender as soon as I could and took the bra off. It already scuffed the paint all up though.

i just try not to ride people's bumpers. from the looks of it the guy who owned this car before me rode 3 inches behind a semi for the entire time he owned it. probably 500k rock chips on my front bumper.

Guys you are'nt going to fix your nose with a bunch of rock chips for a $150 . Which is what a bra costs. BTW my car has perfect paint on the nose and I use one for the sping when stones are really a problem. And its still perfect after 9 years......

I can think of a pair of things a bra looks good on, but only for a minute or two

won't pay for all of it but it'll pay for a decent chunk of it. why spend money to cover it up when it's just gonna make it take longer to save up and get it fixed right.

using the bra for just one season is a good idea. keeps the paint good so you can show it off the rest of the year. keeping a bra on all the time just makes it look kinda stupid.

I'd still rather have half a dozen rock chicks than a bra on my car. If anyone wants to complain I'll ask what they daily drive...usually shuts them up.
