I was pleased to find installating the bra fairly simple, although I knew it would take some physical effort after reading others' reviews. The hood protector fit like a glove, but the larger "nose" cover didn't fit as perfectly as I had hoped or expected it would. While the "nose" cover fit onto the car, the right side (passenger side) didn't fit as well as the driver's side. The passenger side seemed misshapen and too small to fit tightly, so there were some bulges and wrinkles. And the straps that hook onto the stainless steel clips that mount inside the hood area were stretched to their limit, even causing the stitching to open up a little. The clips that fit in the wheel wells fit and worked well, but the smaller hooks for inside the grill area simply didn't work at all. Either the strap the hooks were attached to were too short or they were too long (so the hooks simply didn't stay on). This didn't affect the fit or stability of the bra in any way, but it detracted from the expectation that this was made for my car (a Porsche 911). The instructions were marginally useful. The illustrations (dark black and white photos) didn't help that much. And the instructions were for a 1999 Porsche 911; I have a 2000 (and that's what I specified when I ordered). Now I know that the 99 and 2000 models are nearly identical, but it's the details that matter folks! On the day I installed it I drove it 100 miles at highway speeds. It worked perfectly and stayed exactly where it was when I put it on. Performance wise, it's a 5 star without question. Aesthetically because of the poorer fit on one side, I'll give it 4 stars.

I'm happy how it fits my car like a glove, though I'm disappointed that they do not make it with a cut-out for a vent my car has. I have a Camaro SS V8 and now they tell me they don't have a bra that has the cut-out.

I am disappointed that the bra does not fit correctly. The hood piece flaps in the wind above 60 miles per hour and the bottom does not fit into the space around the headlight that secures the bra in place.

Very Nice Product... I received the Front end bra earlier than what the original quote stated. My wife put it on our Lexus, so it couldn't have been very difficult (probably didn't use instructions). It really looks great on our 2001 RX300 and would recommend it to anyone.

1) I expect better than a 4th generation photocopy for directions.Better print/photo quality comes with a $5 watch instructions. 2) Getting it on initially was very difficult due to poor instructions and fit. 3) A clip on the wheel well scratched my paint. 4) Do not understand the rave reviews. This is a not especially well fitting piece of inexpensive vinyl. Not a great value,perhaps my expectations are too high.

The Bra looks GREAT, I have only one problem, the upper plastic hook that goes into the wheel wells do not wrap around the fender lip because of the inner fender shield covers the lip. The hook keeps coming loose floping in the wind. The plastic seems to be to thick to hold on. You might want to look into a new design.

I looked around the various online stores and found auto accessories garage had the product available. The reviews for the bra set were spot on! I received the product in six weeks and the carbon fiber color is a beauty. Reading the reviews were very helpful and prepared for me for what to expect of the bra set. First, you need to unpack the bra set and let it relax and breath. After a couple of days I placed the bra set outside in the sun for a few hours. That is the trick! These bra sets are designed to fit snug and by letting it sit in the sun allowed me to stretch the material over the hood of my SL500 mercedes and the front of the vehicle. The instructions, I did not use at all. I did look at the pictures to make sure the way the bra set was to be positioned. I took my sweet time putting on the bra set which formed tight and snug on the front end! I am very happy with the quality of the product and I would recommend this to all my friends and family! Not only does it look sharp it serves its purpose of protecting the paint job from rocks and insects! With the onset of spring you can bet there will alot of insects hitting the bra and saving the paint job! If you are on the fence, buy it you will be happy you did!

Only issue with bra is that when ordering picture indicated air dams on the hood part of bra. However when I reviewed the the order form it did indicate that that was not an option. I rely wanted air dams to protect my windshield, if I had picked up on that I may have gone with another manufacture. I prefer this manufacture but really needed the protection for my windshield. Otherwise this is the only company I would buy from.

Great fitting, great looking, easily installed accessory that does sooooo much for the apperance of my ride. I have been restoring "classic" and antique cars for 36+ yrs. In that time I have installed a dozen or more bras from as many mfgrs. and I will say NONE can compare with this bra, for ease of installation, quality material and a beautiful look. Like no other I have found anywhere. Keep up the good work, and thanks for EVERYTHING!

This is in fact the second bra for my 135i. The first one worked out so well that I thought a change of clothes would be nice. Turns out this one in Carbon Fibre looks even better when fitted. There is no crease or wrinkle anywhere. It is virtually a second skin. In addition to the protection it offers, it makes the car look driven, purposeful. Thanks.

Excellent fit, apparently very good quality materials. I'd have to say that, this being my first car bra ever, I'm impressed.

This was my 4th try to find a nose-guard (Bra is kinda sexist, don't you think?) to properly fit my wife's 2007 Honda Civic. This one fits "skin" tight and likely won't sag over time. It was hard stretching and fitting the fender hooks. Best to use "water-pump" pliers, the hooks won't bend using finger pressure alone; "common" pliers didn't work well either. Might be hard getting the hooks off before winter, too, we'll see. No grille screens with this Civic unit (minus half a star for this); too bad, my '97 Accord wagon nose-guard does have this very useful feature. Still, this guard will protect the Civic bumper and leading edge of the hood just fine, me thinks.

Well since this is a custom bra it took some to get it. The instructions that are included are poorly written and designed. Accordingly we spent some time just trying to figure out attachment points etc.Essentially one has to bend a number of the "clips" that hold the bra in place. It's a task for one person alone. In addition you have to do this every time you wash your car since the instructions say to remove before washing.The material itself is fine and has the appearance I expected.The big drawback is installation.

I must say, very good quality car bra. I've owned others and this one is the best I've had. It did take a while to install the first time. The temp in my garage was only about 55 degrees and stretching it was tough, but I'm sure if it had been warmer it would have been much easier.
