Fits? Sure! Looks good, not a chance. Sorry, they might save you from bugs + rocks, but they will never be show-stoppers.

It looks good to me, bra's seem to be a look thats dated sort of like the slats that used to be on the rear windows of mach 1s and on our cars. I like it though, i dont think theres anything else that fits as well as that one does. Is that a colgan bra by any chance? I had one on my fb and it fit unlike any other bra out there.

Eh, looks like it'll work, you'll only really wanna keep it on for roadtrips and such, otherwise it'll start getting to your paint.

I'm a professional detailer, and I can tell you this- Bras ruin paint.

especially white paint.

bacteria and plant life grows in the collected moisture under the bra, and actually lives in the pores of your paint, as it grows, it will try to put down roots, and will destroy the paint.

the bacteria actually discolors paint, ESPECIALLY WHITE PAINT!! and if it does become discolored/yellowed, you may NEVER get it to match again.

on top of all that, if any dort or grome gets under the bra, the car's vibrations can make the bra rub the grit INTO the paint like sandpaper.

My suggestionis this, Look into a product made by 3M - a clear protective layer of vinyl that applies like a decal. easy to put on, and almost invisible from most angles.

The bra is original equipment from Mazda. I only put it on the car for occasional day use only. I dont even drive the car 10 miles per month . I just cleaned her up and wanted to post a pic.

If you have the ORIGINAL 10 AE TII braw, that is priceless. Don't sell it and I'd only use it for pictures and showing off. Don't use it for deflecting bugs and it will ruin.

I saw one sell on ebay for $100...and it didn't look NEARLY as nice as yours. I think it looks nice. If you enter into a car show or are just taking pictures put it on

Cool that you have all the goodies for the car, but as others have already said don't use the bra. I have a friend that installs the 3M film on cars including exotics. He did a Ferrari Enzo and then bitched about how low the car was as his back was killing him after the job. The 3M film is good, but not perfect. Certain bug guts will stain the film, but you can replace the film much easier than repainting the car.

yea taelem is defianetly right, if you wanna protect your car, which i hope is the only reason you wanted that thing on, another way if not better would be a clear bra.

Hey Johnny, I like it!

With the bra.



Without the bra.



And I've had the bra on there for 4 years straight with no problems. Then again I take it off when I wash and wax the car, don't drive the car in the rain and the car stays in the carport with a car cover on it 95% of the time. I just took it off 2 weeks ago for the fun of it. I will be putting it back on though, I hate stuff hitting the nose when I do drive it.

I found a bra in the trunk of my 'new' vert... I might put it on as a distraction to how heinous the paint is on the front bumper, lol.
