Thanks ..... You have the same color as I do !

Did it burn any of the paint off from the wind by chance ?

Your profile says it is a 2-piece, I do not see the seam ?

Thanks

as long as you keep the inside of it clean like no sticks or excess dirt you won't have any problems (at least we haven't)

and as far as being a 2 piece the main piece is the bottom and the other is the hood iff you look at the lines of the hood you can see where the 2 pieces are

I appreciate the response ....

Last week I nailed a Raccoon doing about 70+ MPH and the front sections are getting replaced and repainted and after looking at the millions of stone chips, it would be of benefit to get some protection in the front ...

I am going to call them and get it ordered !

I am also using the huge 2 piece colgan carbon fiber (like) bra. I've had no problems with it at all. it's a struggle getting the hood piece on at first but do the best you can. After it has seen the elements (sun, rain, cold hot, etc) over a few weeks, i've found that the material actually gets easier to deal with. when I revisited and went to adjust the cover, it seemed much easier to do the second time than the 1st.

Well worth the $135 investment, IMHO.

Looks great - I am on the phone with them right now and they do not have the Carbon Fiber in stock, will take 6-8 weeks ...... OUCH !

So, they do have one of the smooth ones ready to go and that is what I am going with that and paying a little extra for 2 day shipping .....

Thanks Guys and Gals !

Ouch! try to find somewhere else that has the carbon looking one! to me, it looks much nicer than the leather looking ones that are the most common out there. the carbon fiber (like) finish is not as shiny as the leather looking one which is the reason why i got it. the greyish looking one i have looks awesome. I'm glad i went with that decision!

im thinking of getting one for my xb, has anyone that has had one on for a while noticed any paint faiding issues. the only reason i want to get one is that i spend a lot of time on the road commuting back and forth from work/school. and i just dont want to have to worry about the paint fading on it when i take it off for car shows or what ever the case my be.

I'm willing to sell mine... I've had it on for only about a month and now I don't even use it anymore... just not my style. But yea... give me an offer someone.. I'm willing to get rid of it than to have it sit in my garage. It's the regular leather one btw...
