New Frontend Bra for my cars!

[ANBUryan]

I was bored one night so i made some bras for my cars.
They are great for racing so that your car won't get scratched.
I made these out of black electrical tape. Thought that i might share this with you guys, it might be helpful

Here are some pictures!







as you can see, there is already a scratch on the top right corner by the headlight.






They are not perfect but they prevent from having scratches!

very cool is the concept so that the front bumper wont get scratched

your skyline is a beast! 370 looks mean. are you running spacers with both of them?

great idea for the "bras"...i just hope the electrical tape doesn't leave a bunch of gummy residue when/if you take the tape off

yeah thats a good point, maybe do rubbing alchohol to get rid of the residue

[mr.hotrod]

NOOOO rubbing alcohol killed my first gen corvette. dont it will make everything run and it will melt the plastic

[Stugottz]

oh my bad

[mr.hotrod]

yea i didnt wanna see any one else make my mistake

[XMDrifter]

use masking tape, then cover the masking tape with electrical tape. should solve the gummy-residue problem.

Yes the concept is that it will protect the front bumper from scratches.

Thanks, no spacers on any of my cars, those green rims you see are custom deep dish rims i modified from one of the radio shack wheel upgrades.

There shouldn't be that much residue unless the tape is really really sticky, my tape is not sticky enough to leave residue. If the tape is sticky, then the masking tape under the electrical tape, like XMDrifter said, is a good idea too.

maybe im going blind but looks to me like you put them on backwards and painted them

[mr.hotrod]

no, the scion ones have a different spoke style, the spokes on the scion ones are wider, thoose are too narrow, thoose are defo the rim kit ones painted green and put on backwards

No sir, they are not put on backwards, I simply nipped off the spokes and repositioned them so that they are deep dished.

I will post up some pictures ASAP. thanks.

Oh yeah, by the way, if it was the back of the rim sticking out, there wouldn't be a slanted lip, it would be a non-step lip, in other words flat lip. Hope you know what I'm talking about.
