Dan, the bra is on because I was tired of getting those damn paint chips and having to fill them in with touch-up paint. I was curious what others do in this situation? What, me speed??

18,8 fronts with 235/40 and 18,9 rears with 265/35 T1's. Also have Koni yellows and H&R springs. Makes for a sweet ride and great handling.

I'm not sure if you know Rishie. He is ARD T2 on the forum and is primarily in the suspension/wheels forum. I did some extensive research with him. He gave me a sweet deal and will work with you whatever your budget is. Give him a PM and see what you can work out. Happy shopping.

I think the big question is, how much? I like the look of those rims and might be interested in some 17 inchers... [/B]

well ive herd of people getting dust or dirt under the bra and the bra moves a little going down the road, thus making your car look like it just got sanded. I have seen in person a car that had a bra on it for a while and it looked nasty. The paint on the outside faded and the paint on the inside still looked new, well all but the scratches and rubbing marks.

Dan; so have you seen folks with their front ends pok marked with stone chips without a bra. Granted, I agree the car looks better without the bra. I have removed the bra periodically and washed and waxed the front end so I won't get that paint fade prior to putting the bra back on. I just find with a car that low, those stone chips multiply and look like @**% after awhile. Mazda did not offer a "good" factory paint job from the outset, and paint chipping seems to be a chronic irritating problem.

you can get the front coated with 3m's armourfend. its a thin transparent piece of adhesive plastic that does a great job of keeping the nose and front end from getting pock marked. you can't even really notice its on there. worked wonders on my bmw!
i suggest you get the nose painted first though. its gotta be a bitch to remove afterwards...
