Leather Bra?

[Willsi]

The previous owner of my car must have hit a traffic cone or something else soft enough not to dent the front bumper but whatever he hit really messed up the paint. There are spider webs all acrossed about a 2 ft section of the front bumper's paint (not the clear). I got some estimates and they were all in to 400-600 dollar range to sand and repaint the bumper.

So I was thinking instead of spending 400-600 I would just get a leather bra for 170 from honda. Anyone had any experience with leather bras or any reccomendations? I am worried my si will look like an old farts car w/ a leather bra. Its fiji blue if that effects anything

i have a leather bra from honda, BUT i only use it for traveling. I commute every day so it prevents chips and crap getting on my bumper. On weekends, it comes right off. I would not want it on my car all the time, its kinda ugly but it serves its purpose. IMO i would look to get it repainted. Do research at diff garages and get the best price. Its worth it, trust me. You would not want the bra on all day every day bleh

^ Agreed I have a bra on my car when I commute to school but I hate cleaning the crap out that gets in there. overall its a good investment but a bra is meant more to protect bumper not hide your messed up paint. I say forget the bra and just put away money over time to get it painted.

I'm thinking of getting a bra. My frontend of my nhbp is destroyed after 2years of new england weather. I'm getting my hood and fenders repainted because of the paint cracking/crows feet tomorrow. I'm just going to pay to get my bumper repainted as well so it can look fressh. My question to you guys with the full nose bras, is does it fit with/over the HFP front lip?
