Like? yes or no?

Never cared for permanent mounted hood protectors..what do yall think of this?

 

I'm not a huge fan, but I have a lot of chips in that area, so I kinda wish I had one, looks good.

 

Yeah i'm not a fan either...a guy has to just stick with a normal bug guard and not a bra type thing. another option is to Rhino Line it and get the protective coat so it will stay nice and glossy for ya!

 

It wouldn't be so bad if it didn't have the air deflectors on it.

 

i pass but it is functional

 

I am not a fan. Maybe try clear bra.

 

Now that's an idea, kind fo like the clear coat stuff at the bottom edge of the doors and body..

 

dont like it. could possible fade the paint over time. also my friend had one on his old dakota when he bought it and myself and him took it off after a while, from the leather moving around over the years it ate right through the clear, paint, and into the metal of the hood . he was pissed. also scuffed his hood emblem up bad but us taco owners dont have that worry.

 

Yeah agreed, I don't leave it on for extended periods of time, but it is nice for long road trips. Easy to remove..

 

don't like it (looks '80's) and the paint will probably look worse under it when you take it off

 

I voted yes. I dont think its awesome but I like it better than the plastic ones.

 

i voted yes for your truck, but i would not put one on mine. whatever you like is what really counts.

It might fog the clearcoat if it sits wet for any length of time. At least, that happens on some other vehicles with bra protectors.

 

I like it for it's functionality, but not for it's looks... Therefore I voted yes.

 

I ran a bra on a car before (road trips only). The important thing is to keep both the surface of the car and the back of the bra clean and dry. Don't leave it on where dust and water can get between the two. As it moves, this is what will scuff your clear and make it look discolored. It does a great job of protecting your paint if its used right.

My next new car will get the clear bra though. If your paint in that area is chip free, i suggest you get it too.

 

If you like it, you like it but the paint will probably get damaged even more with it on opposed to having nothing there

 

functional, yes
ugly, yes


its up to you!

 

if your just using it for road trips you should be fine as long as its kept clean and dry as stated before..but for long time use, nah..Sometime along the line im going to have my hood repainted and then clear bra'd

 

I actually bought this thing about 4 years ago, I was traveling in my job and used it while accumulating 100,000+ highway miles. Dug it out the other day, gonna ditch it.
