Default Need Some Bra Help!

I'll be going camping Memorial Day weekend and I need to purchase the full-size bra for my Box. Something like the one from Lebra. I don't want all those rocks and bugs chipping any paint from the front of my car. Does someone on here have a pic with one on their Box? Any pics please...Thanks :D

I'll have the LeBra full front mask around the 13th. I'll post a picture for you then.

I saw a used xB all tore up from rock chips, which is why that was something I wanted ASAP!

Exactly, I'm going to Wisconsin Dells for some camping and it's about 3 hours to get there from Chicago and there WILL be plenty of vehicles on the way throwing pebbles and rocks...

Stay away from the LE Bra. I bought that one first and the top constantly flapped in the wind which caught some dirt and put a few scratches on my hood. Someone at the Philly Exposed event showed me how he tied his down with a ton of bungees under the hood, it worked but looked nasty with the hood up.

I gave up on it and bought the Colgan. That one is FAR superior and I ordered the side mirror covers. They work great.

The TRD one is only for the hood. The Colgan is a full coverage one and you can get ones for the mirrors too. Love mine and it takes less than 5 min. to install

Welp, just got my LeBra on and it was tight as a motherF...,,
I don't know what some people where talking about as far as the hood part goes, it appears to be nice and snug.

I'm heading on a 500 miles trip will let you know how it performed. I'll add a picture tonight after my damn camera charges up again.

The Le Bra has no backing on the vinyl and is made of much thinner material and will stretch and flap once it is exposed to the sun. That is why they are so inexpensive compared to the Colgan. Also without the backing, the backside of the vinyl is much more abrasive to the paint. Maybe do a couple of coats of wax prior to installing it. Hope it works for you though.

Quick update... Don't buy this thing!! That is a "DO NOT"
I was told by the seller that one, they were not sure if it came with holes for the fog light, which it does... But they did say take it and try it. SO I did.

It worked fine for about 10 miles and then the damn thing, as someone earlier stated, will start lifting and flopping around. In fear of my new car and paint, I pulled over and removed the hood part.

Needless to say, i'll be returning this thing Monday for sure. Colgans bra looks promising. Here is there drawing:
