Magnet Bra..
So has any of y'all used or is currently using this magnetic bra. I've seen it on someones xB on in one of these forums and I like it.
I like how it looks like a piece of vinyl and not like a big piece of material hanging on the hood.
What I want to know is that is it worth it, durable, and will it really protect the hood?

EDIT: You can purchase the exact magnet bra I have from a convenient Web site. http://www.magnetbra.com
I'm rocking a Magnet Bra. It's the best looking car bra I have ever seen and was totally worth the small price. I couldn't believe that it was about $50.
The bra itself is a magnetic layer that you set on your hood. Then there's a trim that you place around the edges of the bra that locks it onto your hood and prevents people from stealing it. The trim brings it out.
So far, it has held up extremely well. I do a lot of highway driving, and the bra has not chipped at all. The luster is fine, too. I've only had it for about 1-2 months, though, so maybe I can report in some time later after it has been worn for a while.
I highly recommend a Magnet Bra.

FroZone, FYI, that bra comes in white. Now I know it doesn't match your new blue wheels, but I wonder what it would look like on your box... Hmm...
You should get white lugs on your blue wheels and rock a white Magnet Bra. That'd be hawt as hell.
I ordered this bra from the very same Web site. Very satisfied with my purchase and will highly recommend them. In fact, I'll act as a testimonial. lol

I think it would look really, really great. I mean, FroZone liked the same wheel that I was considering putting on my xB. That funky yellow one, right? Okay, so follow me here, CIONIDE.
If he liked that crazy wheel and the setup I'm rocking with my xB, FroZone likes different setups, as long as they all flow together and don't look overly tacky.
Based on that assertion, I suspect that FroZone would like to emulate a similar effect on his box; Ergo, a kick-@$$ white magnet bra with blue wheels and white lugs on them. That would look really awesome.
And I'm not on drugs. I'm just high on cars. I dream about my xB.

Hmmmmmm........this looks like a pretty good alternative. I do about 80+ highway miles a day and already have several nice rock chips on the hood. I don't know if I should try the white or black.
My xB is Super White, but I don't know how good/close the white they offer would match it. The black may look less out of place/better. What do you guys think about which color to get?

The nose of the Scion is horrible, and mines getting beat to hell. Def worthwhile IMO.

I'm going o buy mines today in Black since I got the Murasaki. I don't think White will go with the color. I'll keep you guys posted and post some pictures.
Plus it's pretty cheap. $49.95 from what I remember plus shipping of about 15 bucks.

I'm not saying to forget about Batt's overlay (I'm actually ordering mine today), but you know. I think it'd be kick A$$ to have that on there.

Lemme know if you guys want further shots from a distance, because I took close-ups when I installed mine on my xB!

@EVERYONE: Everyone here, if you are concerned about protecting your metal hood, needs to buy a Magnet Bra.
It seriously is the best-looking one I have ever seen and it protects my hood very well. Plus, it is aesthetically pleasing.
Couple this with Batt's overlay and... oh! I'll upload pictures when I get Batt's Bumper Overlay in the mail and install it on the box.
