Bra for 4th Gen? - Honda Prelude Forum

jakej · 06-27-2002, 10:52 AM

I just put a nasty mark on the frount of my bumper.... I think a bra would cover it up nicely. What does a bra look like on a prelude? Does anyone have pics?

thanks

I never like them bras (except taking them off on girls). If you leave them on too long, especially in the sun, it leaves bra mark and you can see it when you take it off. Like difference in color or something. Plus I think it's ugly.

Definitly stay away from the bra's, they look cheesy as hell...i'd rather have a big scratch then a bra on my car....*shrug*

There! That's a good excuse to get a front kit.

What kind of coin-age would I be looking at to get the scraches fixed on my car by a bodyshop? Theres 3... 2 on the bumper and one on the bottem of the hood. Only the hood scrach/dent would require slight bondo. The others probally just need paint to cover 'em up. btw, they are both rather small... maybe 4.5" long by 1.5" wide.

I'll see if I can get some pics up.

I have an OEM Nose Mask for my car. I use it when I go snowboarding and they put gravel on the roads...
If you leave it on for a long time, the paint under the mask wont be as faded as the rest of the car. Also, dust gets under it and buffs out the shine...
Nose Mask is good for temp usage, but not permanent.

I agree with Jason. It protects the paint from chips, but it'll fade less underneath, plus it looks pretty ugly when it's on there.

Ok, thanks for the imput guys (however, I'd still like to see a pic). How much do you think it would cost to have 3 small spots tuched up then? Say... a little buffing and about a square foot of paint (oem honda dark blue/green). Like $200 or like $500?

I have one, but the again my whole front bumper is messed up so I don't really care about the paint under there... I don't use the part on the hood tho...

sorry I don't have a pic.. maybe I can go take one, but I'll have nowhere to host it...
