Car Bras

[Shayde]

Hey guys,

I'm planning on driving my s2 r33 about 4,500km to west aus and am trying to hunt down one of those car bra thingys for my car.

I have absolutely no idea where to start looking for these things and any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'm staying in Sunshine Coast at the moment, but having to go to Brisbane isn't a big deal to get 2 of these (a mate of mine is coming along in his s1 r33 as well).

Thanks in advance guys,

Shayde.

its on the net. i enquired years ago and they made one back then for r33's so u shouldnt have any problems

I'm hunting down sites at the moment and I'm only coming up with sites from NSW and Vic. I can't find any companies in QLD that deal in car bras. Haven't found one yet anyway.

Can you recall the company that did it?

[ish]

not many companys doing it because the ones that are around have the market ....

I used Offial carbra and it was delivered in 24 hours for my r32gtr. pretty good product once i learned how to fit it

group buy?

hahahaha whoever goes in the group buy I'll never speak to again!

It's cheaper to get your bar resprayed and you won't look like a pillow-biter!

rather than be a fudge packer, yes.

Seriosuly the things are hideous and over priced, you can pick up bar for less. if it's just temp use some tape and card, spray the thing body coloured.

I think these days there is also a plastic film product that you can use. Its simlar to contact, just obviously way better and made specifically for the automovite market. Maybe look in to that. Its also clear...

I would not ever use a car bra again...

Used to work for FORD years ago (many didnt not know this, so keep it quiet). But I had a customer come in with a brand new EL XR8.

He had the car bra on from the day he bought it. It was in for its 10,000km service... I took the car bra off and the bra had rubbed the paint on the bonnet back to undercoat...

So ill never use a car bra ever...

LMAO... must of been a bit of a plonker leaving it on the whole time !

I've had 2 x Carbras and they have saved me on long journeys in the past back when Suzuki Gti's were the rage, trucks and what not dropping rocks and crap off their load or newly sealed roads where morons in shitboxes think its funny to tear past ya kicking up the loose gravel chipping the crap out of your paint work ! But I found if you left the Bra on it did sweat, also you are right Col, I drove around with it on for a week when I got to my destination on holidays and it did start to wear the Black Metalic paint, needed a puff after that.

So yeah get one but take it off when ya get there.

Both the Bras I got where awesome quality and well worth the cash, from memory floating around the $380 to $450 mark.

'Borgs' who is a member on this forum has just bought one for his 33 GTR and is driving from VIC to QLD and I should see him by this weekend as he's passing thru, I will see what he says about the Bra.

My main concern was the lack of air flow maybe ?

sounds like somethin that weighs about 20kg's.

a respray sounds better then addin on 20kg's for a journey
