beautiful!

It's very snapy, and quick! I love it. I thought the sedan would be a little boring, but after driving a SUV all these years this is very fun to drive. The short throw is very smooth.

To answer your question about the black grill ...

They did it at the local graphics shop.
They removed the chrome part of the grill (appearently the chrome section can be removed while the main part of the grill stays in place, its just clipped in)
Then they removed the emblem from the chrome section.
Then they applied a decal to the chrome section.
Then they put everything back together.
They charged me $40 canadian.

IMO its a better way to go than painting the grill.

Afew pics of my sedan.

That looks so darn good I am truly jealous. Wow as Bob Cole say!

Hiya guys I have a few more pictures, this time with the front end cover on it.

ricky- remove the front bra in the rain. your paint is going to cloud up if you keep it on too long. those are only to be used in the dry.

also, those were popular in the 70's and 80's...

I must say, those HFP wheels are still my favorite (that's what those are, right?).

[RLJSlick]

No way dude, I've used them for years, and I never heard of that nor ever had a problem with them in the rain. As far as being from the 80's that's just dumb, I see them everywhere, plus, when you at the shop repainting your bumper because of paint chip damage, don't make me tell you, I told you so. LOL

RLJSlick, is that the Sportster? I assume you have it hooked into the stock radio via the MP3 jack? How's the SQ through that connection? What's your mounting point for the Sportster?

I have a Kenwood X-679 HU right now direct connected to a Kenwood SR-903 tuner in my Sunfire, but I would have to give that up and go back to my Audiovox PnP2 Sirius tuner if I get a Civic with Navi... thankfully I haven't Ebay'ed it yet

here, read the owner's manual again (NOTES) and also run a search online on
these leather bra application on cars. you're pretty lucky you didn't
get clouding on your car. you must wax it very often under there.
basically, these bras were made to be used in the dry for temporary
protection for long trips. most car enthusiasts including me will not
use these bras even for temporary protection.

about the 80's joke, 3M clearbra's are more popular these days for
front end protection, but again, it was just a joke. you're oldskool
than me... (but i wouldn't be surprised if im 2x or more than your age).

goodluck with your car.

Hiya Jandree, yes that is a Sportster and it works perfectly in that location. The 12V power and the AUX mini jack are in the perfect location for my unit. I love the sportster because I can pull it out and use it in my truck in seconds. I also have a hookup in the house so if I want to take it indoors. The mount point is a plastic plate under the radio dash, that can be pulled out, I popped the plate off, mounted my sirus mount, popped it back on, it took only about 15 minutes to do. Works very good, sound great!
BTW the SVC (Speed-sensitive Volume Compensation doesn't work though the AUX jack.

Thanks GGSedan, no I never heard that either, and I've had them on my last 4 cars, and I never seen anything like that. Even after all these years, I barely notice the fade difference on the paint. I do understand that Front End Covers (bras= 90's, Front end cover= today) isn't for everyone, but thats why I do it, because I don't want to be like the others. Thanks again G later!!!

Cool that you would find the manual for me, but again, I never had that problem in the past, maybe we don't get enough rain in Wisconsin to apply.
I can tell, you never own one, because as temporary as you say they are, they are a ***** to take on and off, only take them off in the winter time, or when you wax your car. The manual will of course say something like that for liabilities issues, they don't want to get sued. The cell phone companies tell you to also pull over in your car to use the cell phone, well you know where I'm leading.
As far as the 80's thing, no worries dude, we are all in this together, and Different Strokes for Different folks(now that's from the 80's). As far as "enthusiast", again that is a matter of opinion, I consider myself a car enthusiast also, so what do that mean? I even saw a Toyota Prius with one on at the Chicago Auto Show this year, you sure not gonna tell me the Prius is from the 80's!
I also bet you $10 that you're not twice my age!!!
Have a good one!

meh, not a big deal. I'd rather give up SVC for a direct connection... thanks for the warning though

Yup they are the Acura version,I think they are the same just no sticker.

[kenchan]

Actually i have had a few of them on my previous cars, but only used
them on cross country trips. they are a biatch to put on as you said...

it did what it was suppose to do.... to protect the paint from chips.
i guess you went for the cosmetic change. keep us posted on how
your paint holds up (and i don't mean it in a sarcastic way, btw).
