Does anyone have any pictures with cavaliers with le-bras? I think I want to get one, but the pictures I see on ebay are kinda crappy.

Don't use La Bra. They will fit nice, but will rub off the paint around the edges of the front wheel well.
They do not have a soft backing and if any dirt gets in behind it, it will mess up the finish on the car.
If you really want a good front end bra, go with either Covercraft or Wolf brand. Either one has a soft backing that will help prevent
scuffing of the finish.

Yeah, I was looking at the Covercraft ones. The mini one would look cool on a cavalier. (I think)

Looks a lot like the one that I've had on my car since it was new (11 years ago). I've always liked it.

My philosophy is that bras are for women, not cars.

i had one of those cover craft things on my '04 when I first picked it up

the first thing I did was rip it off

there was a ton of dirt underneath it, and the paint is pretty messed up where that thing was supposed to be 'protecting'

Yeah unless you take off Le-Bra almost daily to clean out all the dirt and crap that collects from under it, you're doing more damage than you are protecting your paint. They basically end up holding dirt onto the part of your car that it's on, and will mess up the paint.

WHY???????
we sell these clear bug shields @ my work they come in clear thier liek a film. kinda liek a tint that goes over the front of your car. It dose the same as a bra and looks sick cuz it blends in with the paint. works awesome as well.

Are those tail light covers? where did you get them ---^

My hood is already messed up with rusted ding marks. I really wanted to get it just to cover it.

Those are stock tails sprayed with VHT Niteshade. You can get it from Jason at A Plus Performance.

You really don't want to cover rust lol. It'll eventually creep past the bra since the bra will hold dirt and moisture.

Had one on my Cav back when I first got it. Not only does it trap dirt underneath like everyone else has said, it also collects moisture. My stock hood is pretty rusty on the front now.

Really, whats the point of getting a bra?

and if you say "to protect the paint", well why bother when no one can see the paint you are 'protecting' anyways?

its meant for more like a temporary thing. you put it on, go on a road trip, and take it off when you get to where you're going. people have been using masking tape for this lately, and i think it looks a lot better.

I See.. I'm pretty much talked out of it now. I think I'm going to go for the rain guards on the windows instead.

My old '01 on the far left. I only used it on long trips, waxed the area it covered multiple times, and I'm sure it saved me a lot of stone chips so I was pleased with it!-

I picked a brand new one up for 25 bucks, and I plan on using it for longer trips, I have too many rockchips already, but I figure it could help.

I just need to give it the good waxin before I do I guess,

I think it needs to be a paste wax too hey?

That's a lot to read from a black plastic bug deflector. Seriously though, I was never much of a chess player.
