Review: Covercraft Full Nose Mask

Apache_Driver · 12-05-2009, 12:36 PM

My RX-8 was a rock/bug magnet. I had a clear bra installed shortly after purchase and it did help out a lot, but not to the degree of a leather bra. On my red 8, I thought the black bra actually improved the way the front end looked, but I agree that they are butt ugly on our 370s. Regardless, I make frequent 300+ mile drives home, and you can't beat the protection that a good leather bra provides for long road trips. Sounds like many of you are comfortable with layering clear bras for extra protection, but for me the 300 dollar investment in something that I only use for long trips is a winner.

To be honest, I don't understand why this is such a heated topic. If the car is yours do whatever you want to protect it to the best of your ability. If a leather bra just makes you nauseous, then clearly they aren't for you. I don't think there's much of an argument, however, for saying that a sheet of plastic or two provides more protection against road debris than a thick leather pad. It may be an acceptable substitute for some, but better? That just violates whatever common sense I have left, which isn't much I assure you.

Cheers

I did add however that from personal experience, my 3M clearbra does protect very well and has zero defects after 8 months of steady highway use.

Its heated because Mr. HTP Autoworks had to latch onto my initial post and try to make an infomercial out of what I INITIALLY said.

He argues from a completely false premise that "modern technology" is better than "past technology" which is a huge bunch of

. As the other posts here are testifying too the "old technology" leather bra's protect far better than the clear junk.
