I'm just going to get the front nose re sprayed probably once a year. I have a guy that will do it for approximately $150-$200. He said that they spray it well and put more than one coat on.

I bought the Nissan full-nose mask made for the 370Z. It cost about $25.00 more than the Covercraft, however the stretch fit is perfectly skin-tight so there is absolutely no looseness or folds to be seen anywhere. And the Nissan mask has the plastic hooks...no use of velcro at all.

From the looks of the Covercraft in the picture it doesn't look well designed given the folds in the material. It looks rather loose and ill-fitted.

As for the comment about getting a clear bra instead because it looks more modern or in with the times that is a bunch of :bs:. Whether a person uses a leather / vinyl bra or clear has nothing to do with "modern" times...it is a preference and that's all it is.

It's :bs: remarks like that create :bs: fables and myths that other :icon14: brainless sheep then start to take to heart.

And besides, a clear bra doesn't do jack for many things that get tossed up and slamming toward the car's front. The leather / vinyl bras do protect well against those times.

BAAAAAAAAA.....

False. Paint protection film will stop a half inch stone at 140mph. Its been tested over and over. Besides... and I am just being honest here, that is one of the worst looking bras I have seen. It doesnt fit smoothly, is very bulky, and just looks horrible with that color. At least with clear bras you can cover any area of the car and the headlights.

Zkindofguy... I had a piece of tire, roughly half of it, flip up and hit my bumper, headlight, hood, and then over the windshield at 80mph and therre wasnt one single scuff on the paint. There were some black marks on the film but they buffed right out. So I am not sure what your "those times" are but it seems to hold up better than you lead on. In fact I would be willing to say that its youre remarks about clear bras not holding up that lead to people becoming "brainless sheep". if you want to stick with 80s technology and cover up the lines of your car, go ahead. But do not put out false information about paint protection film not holding up. If that were true all of these Ferrari, Porsche, Lambo... owners would not be getting them. They would be driving around like you with a big piece of leather covering up their beautifu cars.

No what is a travesty is an attitude that one shouldn't try to take care of what they do have so that it lasts longer and maintains the highest possible value. I'm glad you aren't living in my neighborhood.

I don't care what the tests shows...I can test prove that an elephant can hang from a flower by his tail on a cliff. I had a clear bra on my previous car. And it didn't do jack for two different incidents. Every car (3 in number) I have put a leather mask on and have driven each of those cars near 100,000 miles the fronts remained as pristine as the day I bought it. I have no problem using a leather mask on the 370Z now as a leather mask has certainly proven to me it can in all cases protect the the car.

I agree with you about the bra in the picture being terrible looking. That is why I suggested going with the Nissan bra as it is formed fitted and absolutlely skin tight.

I'm not putting false information about anything. And its funny you should mention the "tire" incident you had. That is exactly what one of the incidents I was refering to when I had a clear bra on my Shelby GT and it didn't do sh*t. The foot long piece of tire "gator" flew off the back of a semi and slammed the front passenger portion of my front fascia. It actually pierced the clear-bra leaving a ragged edge in the clear-bra material and made it to the actual bumper plastic leaving a tread mark outline and indentation that to the day I sold the car never came out.

Now on my 370Z I had the same thing happen but I had the leather "80's technology" bra on. It slammed the car even harder than the other incident with the Stang as this "gator" was larger and rocked the 370Z when it hit it. I immediately pulled over to the side of the road expecting to find all kinds of damage....and there was absolutely nothing at all. Even the "80's technology" leather still remained intact. It just had a flat-black scuff across the leather at the strike point which came off very easily using some leather cleaner and conditioner.

So spare me your knee-jerk "sales job" when I can show that "80's technology" works any day of the week because it NEVER fails and isn't a pure CRAP SHOOT like when using "modern-day clear-bra technology". :thumbsdown:

And BTW...just because a clear-bra makes its way onto some exotic brand of vehicle has absolutely nothing to do with how well the clear bra will actually protect the car. So HTP AutoWorks, do you want a shot at the "proven technologies" title?

:iagree: I have had clearbra on my Z since the beginning of April, right after I bought the car. I drive the interstate daily to work. My front end looks like new. Rocks and debris at highway speeds have not damaged or torn the clearbra. My 350 looked like sh!t, as if someone had shot the nose with a shotgun. My 370 looks showroom new. From a performance standpoint in resiliancy to rocks, it is an excellent product. It also has zero peeling and no yellowing.... looks as good as the day it was installed. You guys can debate looks and conventional bras all day long, but the clearbra is a winner from a protection and asthetics standpoint on my car.

Reading these posts, I wish ZKindaGuy was a CamaroKindaGuy so he could go join those folks. Did no one ever teach you that it's not what you say, but how you say it?

Would that be anything like the proverbial "bedside manner" ? :p

Id rather drive with my front bumper and hood off than put a leather bra on my car :p

:wtf2:

why do i feel nauseous :confused:

Something like that. One doesn't get far in life flipping off the handle every time there is a point to be made. Be a little bit rational and explain your points like a grownup. Popping off and flexing your e-muscles doesn't impress anyone around here.
