no to bra yes to rims

 

CF fenders are pointless IMO. they weigh just about the same
EDIT: unless you need replacements and you can get em for cheap

different... ..but not my cup of tea..

 

you dont like the front bra? i thought it was cool and a little bit different... never seen a hatch with one and since it was about to be discontinued i figured why the hell not? also im tired of primered fenders and i got a good price on the c/f ones... btw they are ls meshies in case anyone else hadnt figured out

dope, not feelin the bra, but i like the rims lime green yo
my car

i'd rock em

 

Bra is cool for long highway trips thats about it. The green is not my cup of tea, bot other than that, look cool. So is that your new rust free shell?

 

I like it, its alot different then the other cars I see on here.

 

keep the rims and stock fenders, ditch the bra.

looks good though!

 

bra is so ugly...plus you get dirt or what not behind it and it scratches all the paint under it

yeah thats my rust free shell... im very happy with it... im really suprised that nobody likes the bra but i still do so im keeping it... also you are supposed to take it off and clean underneath it every few months to keep the paint from getting scratched... btw i love the red hatch
-Josh

 

the rims are tight, I like the color........take off your bra hahah only chix have bra's on there cars

 

bra

rims

 

I personally like the look of just using the hood part of the bra...the fender parts are pretty ineffective. And I like the protection from rock chips it provides.
That being said, bras are a pain in the ***. Not only are you supposed to take it off and clean under it pretty often, you're supposed to remove it if it gets wet, let it dry, clean the hood again and then put it back on.
If you don't follow this regimen...
the dirt sits between the bra and the hood. As the bra moves just a little, it starts creating tiny little scratches. Add a good soaking and leave it to dry slowly in the sun and it will cook your clearcoat to a nice hazy white.

If you want the protection without all the maintenance, look into Lamin-X or stoneguard type of films...they are nearly invisible and don't need any real maintenance. They have a useful life of a couple years. After that, it start to show a little more. But its easy and pretty cheap to replace.

 

I can't tell if I like it or not with that picture..You don't have any good pictures?

 

Contrary to what the others seem to be saying, I dig the bra. Looks super nice on your white car.

 

i think you should go with the black rims w/chrome lip, green is not for your car, the bra needs to go and a carbonfiber hood should be there

yes it said that in the instructions it came with... you are also supposed to put a paste wax on the car before you put the bra on every time also

i thought about the black rims and polished lip but too many people have that... i enjoy being a little bit different... i had a carbon fiber hood on there but i liked the way it looked with a white hood... i might be changing it back when my c/f fenders come in and complete the black front end

thanks again for all the comments and keep 'em coming!! im leaving now to get my exhaust put on

So he can be like everyone else, yes right on!

I dig it. I like the bra, I like the idea of the Carbon Fiber Fenders, and I think the green wheels look great (Id like to see a close up on the paint job of the wheels).

Regardless, if you like it, rock it.

 

I agree with what this guy said...

But in the end it's all about what you like... And I don't understand how Carbon Fiber fenders weigh almost the same as sheet metal fenders... I figured between both fenders there'd by atleast a 20-30 pound difference???

 

What ever floats your boat. If you like it then thats all that matters. I am not really a fan of the rims or bra. BTW dont put CF fenders on your car. LOL
