Default Front end mask/bra

All,

Can anybody recommend a certain brand of front end mask for our cars? I want to be sure of a proper fit, proper looks and construction quality. I will only use it on longer trips, will not keep it on the car at all times, so that could mean frequent installation and removal.

Anybody have one for sale that meets these requirements?

Thoughts?

Thanks.

Colgan.

Have used them for years on all many of my cars. Like you, I only put it on for longer trips. The model I have requires that the screws securing the inner fender liner be loosened to allow some of the bra's tabs to be secured. No big deal, but you will need a stubby screw driver.

I have a nice one that came with my 964 but I will never use it. I have to dig it out, we are in a rental while our house is being built so every thing is packed up.

Have you considered clear? Done well it's tough to see and avoids the damage that an on/off bra does. Spendy, but worth it especially if your paint is in good shape.

Cannot say I have, seen them but have not investigated. Spendy, how much?

If you're doing a clear bra, find someone that does a custom cut install, not any precut type of deal. The really good installers have gotten so good that you won't even be able to tell it has a bra on there because they tuck and hide all the film edges.
