Default Front end bra?

I've seen partial bra's that cover up the hoods, is there one that covers the front end? I have a horrible amount of chips!!!! Before I get it repainted i want to make sure there is a bra avaiable.

Maybe a 294 DD will work?

...while i was walking through the cars, i came accros this xB with a full mask, as well as the dealers mask for the hood. the guy told me that his friend custom made it. i have to tell you...it looked really good. i told a few of us down there to go take a look at it, but there was so much other stuff to look at.

anyway, i've got the guys number and i soon as i get more info...i'll let everyone know.

I saw that too......I think I'm going to go the "clear bra"/ sticker route. I found some for $280.

It's supposed to be practically invisible, it can't flap in the wind and scratch the paint, but....

It's permanent...not supposed to take it off. They say it will come off without damaging the paint, but taking it off will ruin the "bra". I have a friend that had one like it put on his WRX STi and you can't see it unless you look real close.
I'm getting mine painted and then getting one of the clear bras.

Your best bet is a "real" bra. I had the clear sticker bra put on one of my cars, It turned out to be a NIGHTMARE!!!!! The sticker started to lift after 2 months. The more it lifted, the more dirt and grit got under it. In the end, My front end was left with perminent scrathes across the hood until it drove me crazy enough to spend $1800.00 to get it repainted. So trust me, you dont want to go with the clear sticker bra. I cant recall who it was, but I heard another story about the sticker bra doing damage.

finally got in contact with him, and he's quoted me $175. i asked him if that was just for the hood cover or just for the bottom bumper cover. he said it was for both pieces...really!!!

i said that i would put it out there to whomever was interested. i'm waiting for him to send me a pic of his so you all can see it before we all start "getting in line". he does not have any pre-made, so all would be "made to order". if he had any in his car, i would have walked away with one, especially at $175. :D

daniel & everyone else interested:

i think its a great price too. i just want everyone to see the thing first, and also make sure this guy can handle the "work load" should he get alot of requests. it sounded like its just one guy that hand makes them all. i'll be talking to him at some point today.

daniel: because of your kit, do you still have the same grill? you may need a custom fit for your front end. just sort of thinking ahead about your "Red Box"

I have an Original JDM front end on my xB. Any chance he can do a custom mask for it?
