Hey guys, thanks for the input on alternatives, but there are already some threads debating that topic. I'm just looking for a picture of what the crested mirror bra looks like... embossed?... stitched?... painted/dyed?... big?... small?

Thanks.

Has anybody else had experience with these? Seems like a great price.

I have the set. I only use them for drives and events (like Auto-X) then take them off. The reason I do this is that I have an old 300ZX that I have had for over 22 years. I left the bra on the car full time for many years and would only take it off if it got wet or when I wash/waxed the car. The original paint is perfect EXCEPT on the hood and front bumper where the bra made the paint hazy.

With that being said, they are super easy to take off/up on, look good (especially the mirror covers - IMO), and protect the paint. The crest is so subtle that you will miss it if you are not looking for it. I give it two thumbs up.

Thanks, that's the only time I would use the bra (long drives and the occasional DE).

Do you have the one with Fender guards I assume?

I assume the one pictured is the one with fender guards; is this the one you have?
