If you want to put a bra on your car, go buy a new bumper cover off ebay for $106 shipped to your door. Replace your good bumper and put the new, unpainted bumper and you'd have EXACTLY the same look.

Mololov, the way you have your rims are alright cause it looks like only the spokes (or what ever they hell they are called) are black, and the rest is still silver/chrome . I was talking about everything black. I haven't seen too many thats why I guess it looks wierd to me.

This is my brothers T/A and personally I like the way it looks. I think its because the hood and stripes add a different effect on the whole look of the bra. I really don't like the look on regular T/A's

Bra's are better left off. If you have the money to drive a TA or Camaro then you got the money to repaint your car or atleast just the clip

I had a bra on my 98, on and off for 3 years. Had no problems what so ever with it. And the car looked fine. I got mine from pontiac, the material was grade A. It was different than a flimsy "la bra". They fit so tight and have clear plastic that covers the blinkers. I used to drive from Nebraska to alabama all the time, and my bra save my nose for sure. My car was white as well! When I get back, I'll be slapping a bra on my Collectors Edition as well.

Once you have had permanent front bumper/facia damage and find out it costs $500+ to replace, you may change your tune everyone! I highly suggest using them on long trips especially if you are trailing tractor trailers.

Road hazard is the number killer! I must agree they look much better w/o, but I am not convinced the 3M product is the cure, as deep penetrating rocks WILL damage the front end in lieu of a fabric cover. Just my 2 cents!

For this reason alone, I wish I had one sitting in my garage. I would only use it on long road trips, but I think it would be totally worth it for those instances.

For now though...I just don't take my car on long road trips...

I use a bra for long trips the frontal support is necessary! LOL . . .

But seriously, yes bras are grotesquely ugly, but for road trips nearly necessary.

I once drove from Houston to Orlando....must have been love bug season...the damn bugs were a bitch to get off the windshield and hood...I could only imagine the fun time I would have had trying to clean my front bumper had I not used the front end cover.
