Has anyone seen a Camry with a leather type front cover ?
Its available with and without Fog Light holes
I like to see some photos if possible and also, your views on Front Covers.
I'm thinking of getting one from LeBra soon because of highway driving I do annually.

But seems leather Bra are not good for this purpose.
I've heard that Leather Bra will faint out and damage the paint underneath it.

Yeah I drive on the freeway a lot too, and I was also thinking of getting one, but the guy at the store told me that I shouldn't get one for that same reason, unless you're willing to put it on and take it out everytime you drive. He told me to just stay further back from the car in front on the freeway.

Bra's look fugly...

yup. i only like the kind that are on the hood. they are practically useless but they look good sometimes. anyone seen any gen 3.5 bras?

^ not anymore....

we used to have one kicking around...

but the think about bras is that most people put them on and then keep them on forever....then they end up with scratched up paint and rust under them from sand/salt/ rocks, etc. and the paint is also a different color from the rest of hte car, which has been exposed to the sun for years

yeah that's true......if only they had clear bras or something...haha

where's the wonder bra? the half bra on the gen 5 looks ok. not the full on one though. hell just get an all leather body that'd be kinda cool...

Has anyone seen the plastic tape on bra type thing on the G35's. We have had several of them for sal where I work and they have had like a tape on bra. It is clear plastic tape more or less. It only covers the very front of the hood sorta like the half bras and on top of the headlights I think. The reason I mention it is I wonder if something like that is available for other cars. If we have another one come in anytime soon I will try to take pictures of it and post so you can see what I am taling about.

I plan on putting it on when driving on several trips [1,000 KM eachtime] I make annually, for stone chips and bugs, and then removing it when returning home.

3m makes laser cut front end masks for a lot of cars....buth they cost somewhere in the range of $500+ w/ installation I think....

and if you have an aftermarket front bumper, then forget it...custom will cost even more...it'd be cheaper to repaint the front-end every year probably

***Knailgun*** · 06-02-2005, 01:23 PM

I admit...I had a bra on my camry once....no more of that....rocks get caught up in the felt as well and scrape up the paint royally

Cyorke · 06-02-2005, 02:20 PM

found this online. 126.00 US. they have two different kits. They say it is a a2 or 3 out of 10 as faras difficulty installing. Only thing is for Camry they only offer Gen 4 and 5. The 126.00 is for a 98.

found one more

This one you have to request a quote so no telling how much it is.

I have seen these type of masks on a couple of Infiniti G35 Coupes and they are nice. From a couple fo feet away you dont even know they are there when you get up close, a foot or less, then you can see it but it is not extremely noticeable even then.Hope this helps alittle bit. Who knows may save someone a paint job in the future. Wish they had one for my car for after it gets painted sometime inthe future.

Paint protection film is the way to go

http://www.roadfly.com/magazine/8/pa...on_film.1.html

I bought the 'Hood Only' piece from here for $84 + ship (for my 2005)

http://www.invinca-shield.com/ASP/ma...sp?make=Toyota

I installed it myself in about an hour. I had previous experience with window tint so this seemed fairly straight forward to me. It is about the same prcocess as the tint, only its clear and on your paint

It has been on for 4500 miles now and so far so good, no chips.

You really can not see it unless you are right up on the car.

This place sells complete kits too, but I just wanted to protect the hood a little. That seemed to be the only place my older gen 3 really has serious paint damage after 10 years.

3m clear bra are great.

BTW: i have that leatherish type bra from my cars. Just as long as your pressure wash the inside (white side) that touches the paint and contidion it some mild detergent and claybar-polish-wax your car twice a year, the bra will NEVER ruin your paint. I've speaking from 8 years exp on my ES300.
