After much deliberation, confusion and growing concern for the speed of chipping to the front of my GT, I bit the bullet and got a car bra.
I have never been a fan of these things, having seen the damage to cars from poorly fitting, covers through to damage csused by debris getting under them and grinding away the paint, but necessity prevails, I am not sure what type of plastic FPV are using for the bumper bars on these cars but the paint chips off way too easily. The other reason to start this thread is to let you all know of the excellent service, and quality of the product that I got from Car Bra Australia, I sent an e-mail, was rung the following day sent some pictures of what i wanted, and the thing turned up 3 days later, WOW for a custom unit, I am impressed. I also like the results and thought I would show it off. ![]() ![]()

That should also make it difficult to weld as well, I think that is the same stuff used on the HSV sills which is an absolute bugger to weld

We received our Car-Bra as well on Monday. Like you Coyote we were not a big fan of them either, but fitted it on Monday night and we must admit it looked better than what we thought it would. Pleased with the colour match and the GT stripes lined up real well too. Also a nice snug fit. Looking forward to Warwick on Saturday and giving it a try out. Just hope these storms stay away from our beasties. Don't want no hail on Blue Thunder, and we are sure nobody else wants it either. See you at Willowbank.

The rear bars are the same, my mates at Q Ford have alot of trouble getting paint to stick to them aswell and have been waiting 3 months for a replacement on a demo that got *** ended!
Anyways you shouldnt have any trouble cutting the rear bar as i know herrods etc do it all the time for quads, maybe give herrods new qld branch a ring and they might be able to help you out!

I like them but the mirror covers are a little much for my liking. The carbra looks like a great fit and match though.
