Like the color,hate the bra,if u drive it a lot maybe try the clear protective stickers,work in a body shop n most the cars that have bras get more scratches from the bra then if it wasn't there n if u keep it on to long the bumper won't match the rest of the car(just a thought)but in the end it's yours n if that's what u like don't listen to anyone but yourself!

Stripes are good IMO. Color does look kinda flat but could be because of the camera and/or due to being single stage.

But man, I had a bra on my Camaro when I got it, it was holding the front end together lol. EVERY time I see a bra on the front of a car I assume it is because of some sort of hideous damage or something lol.

Are you kidding.. I dare you to find a factory car that the bumPers match the rest of the paint... Most noticeable on black and white cars.... Also the are people do the "ceta" mod in is usually a shade off as well...

I think the color is fine....agreed on losing the bra ....I think the stripes would have worked better were they not brought down into the nostrils, and just left on the hood.

But also as stated, it's your ride. Enjoy it the way you want!

Get a clear 3M bra if you must have one. That thing looks like ****. (the bra, not the paint)
