leather bra installation

Xin1120 · 08-21-2008, 03:27 PM

I just bought a leather bra installation for the 135 as I am going to drive a few long distance trips next month. I heard installing it could be tricky and could potentially scratch the paint. Anyone have any tips on the installation or what I would do to avoid any injuries to my baby? Thanks

Ditch the leather and go with the clear bra. The leather will rub the paint.

Leather bra sounds very S&M

I thought leather bras went out of style in the '80s.

They did.

seriously, I wouldn't use a leather bra on such a fine automobile like the 135i. just like someone said earlier, it will scratch your car. this is almost a guarantee because sand gets trapped in between the bra and the paint. now consider the bra flapping up and down with all that wind.

this spells disaster.

Never thought I'd still hear someone actually choosing the leather bra over the clear bra. Seriously, get a clear bra instead.

Yeah, and the nice thing about clear bras is you can see right through them

I have the clear bra and its been nothing but perfect...you can hardly tell its there and after a lot of highway drving no chips whatsoever!!

NO NO NO NO NO

You just bought a sexy car don't make it look ugly. leather bras make your car look like shit, and the paint under it doesn't fade like the paint not covered = kills resale.
