Am I the only tc owner with a front end mask?
 
I got it for free, so I might as well use it, right? The people who installed it kind of dinged my grille when they placed the hooks on the grille. I have never seen a tc with a front end mask. If you have one, can you post pics.

I've never seen one with one on. :[

I see one every morning when I head to work. He's got it on both on the hood and bumper. I wasn't able to say hi because we travel in opposit directons. She looks hot!

revinnova 09-02-2007 02:56 AM

It wouldn't look nice if it wasn't on both. Here is mine. I just took this **** off today, but I might put it back to prevent scratches on my body. https://i234.photobucket.com/albums/...sfolder016.jpg[/img]

I hate bra's on any car

revinnova 09-02-2007 03:15 AM

Everyone says it's a bra. It's not a bra! They are like sunglasses.

The only way i will use the front mask is if i will go on a long road rip other then that there is no need for it.

pb4ugoout 09-02-2007 03:45 AM

be sure to take it off often and wash underneath it. i've seen them collect dirt and act like sandpaper on your paint. personally i'm not a fan of them on any car. if you take a long trip, wash the front end really well and cover the whole thing with automotive masking tape. much less chance of paint damage

foreverandaminute 09-02-2007 03:46 AM

without proper maintenance, they cause more damage then prevent... remember to take it off and clean it every time you wash your car :D

dammit, you're too fast :P

I had one and it scratched the hell out of my paint in under 48 hours despite it being a clean car with no debris under it. :(

revinnova 09-02-2007 04:05 AM

no scratches when i removed it. those scion ******** don't know how to install it and damaged my grille. It's about a 1cm chip. I took it off, and plan to put it on when i go on a road trip.

kikcaffine 09-02-2007 04:15 AM

looks like a sneaky little badger....

paul34 09-02-2007 04:16 AM

Eh, I don't think its ever meant to look good, really... it's just something you deal with to prevent damage.

I know some people live in some crappy areas... but at least for me, I've been able to just get by by just keeping long following distances on the highway, not staying behind trucks (especially concrete tankers) or trucks with large tires/lift kits for long periods of time, etc.

I guess I'll just keep crossing my fingers!

However, if I had a really long road trip, I might consider it. Just make sure you get a high quality one, and put it on while its clean. Take it off after the rain (otherwise it will trap moisture and "haze" the paint)

But yea, as 2fast4you showed, even with all the necessary precautions + a quality bra, you can still get damaged anyway :(

aRucard 09-02-2007 05:07 AM

is it possible to just get the part that goes on the hood?, there's a tc by my house that only has that part on and it looks hot.

Chrisb319 09-02-2007 05:37 AM

I would consider buying/using one if I commuted on the highway daily

jjllgg66 09-02-2007 05:51 AM

car bras went out of style with boatshoes back in the early 90's!

That's like a girl who doesn't wear any panties.

Only time I would consider using one.
