I don't know if a purist would call a front end cover a Mod but here goes.

I wondered if a front end cover (LeBra, or whatever) is a good idea. Will it affect the chrome (I know I'm not getting an R/T)? I don't care much for the chrome look and I can't afford to have it powdercoated so I wondered if anyone has ever used one on a Nitro or any other vehicle and did it do anything to the finish?

My Husband says it will ruin it but I really want something over the chrome. He's prolly right, he ussually is.:Racing:

Mama, my experience with bra's is that you have to keep it absolutely clean underneath or you will sustain damage. The kinda country I live in has snow, rain, mud, debris all blowing around. I even got a rock chip from blowing gravel off of the highway during a blizzard/wind storm.

Personally, I have had bra's on my cars in the past and think they look great, however I wouldn't get one just for the fact of all the crap that ends up underneath 'em and could and in my case has caused paint/grille damage.

Hope my little tidbit of information helps.

StreetDancer, That's what I wanted to know, I want to protect the front of the car, My current car has chips all over the front, it is 13 years old so it is understandable but I want to do whatever I can to prolong the life of this car, I know from past experience I will have it for a very long time.

Anyone have any suggestions?

Look up 3m paint protectant, here or on their site , it's a clear film fits right over whatever , think they already have a kit for the NITRO. It's clear almost invisible & does just what you are looking to get out of a bra.There is a thread on the site here about it.epper:

That's it! I found the site http://www3.3m.com/catalog/us/en001...us_aad_3_0/command_AbcPageHandler/output_html they also have a door edging. Looks like they want a pro to install it , and I guess that mioght not be a bad idea for some.

I'd agree with Dan. I am going to invest in it for both my wife's equinox and my nitro. There's lots of on this site in some of the other forums.

This place is great but I haven't been around long enough to find everything. I looked at the 3m stuff and I will seiously look into it when I finally get my new Nitro.

Hey Mamaloca.......How about posting a larger pic of the Green Nitro. I like the avatar you have. Green is not a factory color which is why I want to see it better. Thanks, David

front end

i was also considering the chrome hood guard, but i saw they make the bra in two designs. You can have it on the hole front and part of the hood or you can buy the bra just for the hood section. Has anyone tried just the hood section yet?
