Hey all. Curious about your opinions on Front End Masks/Bras. Pro's and Con's. I just picked up a mint 2003 Camry LE. Low Mileage and Mint condition. I drive a lot to and from work so I bought the Camry for it's dependability and reliability. Of course I'd like to keep it healthy as long as possible.
That's where the bra comes in. With all the highway driving I do I feel an investment of $60-$100 is worth it if it keeps the paint on the front end from being killed by gravel and such. My dilemma is my past experience with Car Bras in the past.
The last time I used a car bra with 20 years ago on my new 1984 Camaro. I'm not sure if bras weren't as good back then or maybe the paint jobs weren't good, but it was a disaster. No matter how clean I tried to keep the bra, it managed to still scratch the paint under the bra. It also trapped water and eventually lead to rusting problems in the area the bra was suppose to protect.
So, is bying a bra nowadays a better deal. If so, would you all suggest the basic LeBra for around $60 or go for a Colgan which is suppose to be one of the best for closer to $100. Buying a "TOYOTA" brand is just silly for $175 justy so you can have the emblem. Plus it's probably not as good as the Colgan, Wolf, Covercraft, or LeBra. So, any input... Thx... Mike....
