cars bra question

ok if i put my cars bra on her is there a psoibility of the parts that cover the lights flying off because i do a lot of night time inter state driving and my fear is that the wind will catch it in just pull it right on because they just slip over the top of the light and nothing fassens at all

title edited to actually have a subject.

And probably not for the bra headlight covers coming off.

but if you are very concerned, you could do what I used to do back in the late 80s with my Sport and its bra, and that was to remove the trim screw from the front top of the headlight surround, put the headlight bra on, then re-insert the screw back through the headlight bra and into the headlight surround.

That way the screw provides the extra bit of mounting that prevents the cover from being blown off.

I never like the look of a bra, but I may reconsider it during the next love bug season.

The Mazda (S4, for my GXL) bra I have only came with two peices, the front of the hood and the front of the car. Was there a part that covered the headlights or something?

If possable, I'm requesting a picture

Also, it shrunk over the years (from not being on the car). I am wondering if anyone knows a way to expand it. I was thinking if I could stretch it over the car and get it wet, it might work. Hasnt done so great so far . . :/

You know I really liked the look on my old Artic Silver 87 Sport, and I have a brand new one in the box for either my 10thAE or vert, but I question if it is still the style.

You know it kinda reminds me of Members Only jackets (not that I ever owned a members only jacket). They were cool in the day, but you would be laughed silly wearing one today.

Today it's the clear adhesive film that goes on like window tint.

The 2nd gen bumper has grooves & embossing that makes protective film a PITA.
