I've seen partial bra's that cover up the hoods, is there one that covers the front end? I have a horrible amount of chips!!!! Before I get it repainted i want to make sure there is a bra avaiable.
Maybe a 294 DD will work?

...while i was walking through the cars, i came accros this xB with a full mask, as well as the dealers mask for the hood. the guy told me that his friend custom made it. i have to tell you...it looked really good. i told a few of us down there to go take a look at it, but there was so much other stuff to look at.
anyway, i've got the guys number and i soon as i get more info...i'll let everyone know.

I saw that too......I think I'm going to go the "clear bra"/ sticker route. I found some for $280.

It's supposed to be practically invisible, it can't flap in the wind and scratch the paint, but....
It's permanent...not supposed to take it off. They say it will come off without damaging the paint, but taking it off will ruin the "bra". I have a friend that had one like it put on his WRX STi and you can't see it unless you look real close.
I'm getting mine painted and then getting one of the clear bras.

Your best bet is a "real" bra. I had the clear sticker bra put on one of my cars, It turned out to be a NIGHTMARE!!!!! The sticker started to lift after 2 months. The more it lifted, the more dirt and grit got under it. In the end, My front end was left with perminent scrathes across the hood until it drove me crazy enough to spend $1800.00 to get it repainted. So trust me, you dont want to go with the clear sticker bra. I cant recall who it was, but I heard another story about the sticker bra doing damage.

finally got in contact with him, and he's quoted me $175. i asked him if that was just for the hood cover or just for the bottom bumper cover. he said it was for both pieces...really!!!
i said that i would put it out there to whomever was interested. i'm waiting for him to send me a pic of his so you all can see it before we all start "getting in line". he does not have any pre-made, so all would be "made to order". if he had any in his car, i would have walked away with one, especially at $175. :D

daniel & everyone else interested:
i think its a great price too. i just want everyone to see the thing first, and also make sure this guy can handle the "work load" should he get alot of requests. it sounded like its just one guy that hand makes them all. i'll be talking to him at some point today.
daniel: because of your kit, do you still have the same grill? you may need a custom fit for your front end. just sort of thinking ahead about your "Red Box" :wink:

The product is truelly amazing and I have hundreds of installed pics if anyone is interested. I just got my XB about 3 weeks ago and wouldnt let my wife drive it until we put it on.

I carry both 3M and Venture tape(both have advantages). They are produced in my shop using the XPEL software. I can offer the XB kit for 50% off to anyone interested.
3 kits:1.Hood, fender, mirror 2.Bumper 3. Headlamp, foglamp; all for $189
PM or email me with any questions or for pics

Mearl, I've heard products like yours begin to peel up over time and the adhesive collects dust and debris, in turn causing more damage in the long run. I've also heard that they yellow over time. What kind of guarantees can you offer me if I went with your product? :lol:

I sell both 3m and the NEW venture tape and they both have their advantages. I have been installing for 4 years (over 1000 kits) and still see the vehicles to this day that look great. Proper installation is key!!!
As far as yellowing their have been some issues (especially with one companies film in particular that I have had the displeasure of working with) but the films I carry have a 5 year warr. against that.
I do not make the film rather generate the pre designed kits using the film. I beleive full heartedly in this product and it is unfortunate that bad installations and underpar film have generated posts like this.
Simply put your option is a black bra :cry: rock chips :cry: not driving your xB :cry: or protection like this :D
If you are interested email me and we can discuss further.
