Answer 1

mask or bra-this is actually a FUNCTIONAL accessory.
prevents nicks and dings. must be removed during rain(will cause paint oxidation)

Answer 2

It's called a bra, and I would not recommend using one. Every person I've known who bought a car with one on it had rust underneath when they removed it. Yeah, it may protect you from small dings from stuff flying up on the highway, but I think little tiny dings look way better than a big ugly leather muzzle on your ride. They are kind of dying out, and for good reason, people are realizing they are not good for their vehicles.

Answer 3

They are called 'Bra,s'. Designed to keep bugs and so forth off the front of your vehicle but if not installed correctly they chafe off the paint or require a good buff or polish job to restore a good look to what they were designed to protect. Oh and they look like sh*#.

Answer 4

Its called a bra and they look stupid. Don't buy one. Plus when the sun fades your paint (as it does naturally) it will be darker where the bra was because the sun was not hitting that part of the car, so then you will have a two-toned car.

Answer 5

It's called a bra and it looks gay... I wouldn't get one unless I was leasing a car and didn't want to pay for new paint.

Answer 6

I wouldn't buy it (kind of hypocritical of me because i used to own one). But being an older and more style-conscientious consumer, i look back and realize how "ricy" they actually looked... just like window weather guards, chrome tail lights, and mud flaps.

Answer 7
