How difficult is the Honda Nose Mask installation?

[Dretlaw]

I'll try that after I get my clear bra to put on underneath, did you get your clear bra yet? I took of the bra and notices a ton of pollen and leaves and branches on the inside afraid it will scratch up the paint.

Sorry about that...left work and was driving. No, I haven't done the clear bra yet but I want to. I was quoted $575 which is a big expense. If you park underneath a tree for shade that is gonna be a given. I used to park one of my previous cars underneath a tree, but the bird droppings really messed up the paint. Luckily it was a used car for commuting so I wasn't too sad. Just carefully remove the hood cover and there shouldn't be any damage. Since the hood part is extremely easy to put on and remove, maybe try removing it when you're parked under a tree that sheds all kinds of stuff, then put it back on when you leave?

I found a cheap clear bra on eBay for about $75 I will attempt to install it this weekend. I think the main important part I want the clear bra on is the hood and the side fenders. The rest should be protected by the regular car bra. Planning to clean out the garage soon so I can park in there, tired of clean bird droppings and pollen off the car

Is that the same clear bra that Timothyjay found on ebay? Bird droppings can reek havoc on a car's paint job so I don't park under trees anymore.

I'd like to see how your DIY install comes out so post pics when you get it done.

Yeah, it's the same one. I will post some pictures when I'm done with it.

I didnt even think they made bra's anymore. My father had one on a Dodge Daytona is the early 90's...

I just installed on my touring due to a lot of highway driving

How do you think it would look on a Aegean blue coupe?

Nothing beats a clear bra for looks and protection - but those will cost more and aren't going to be a DIY install.

Long term these add-on bras that fit like a sock can gather dust/debris inside causing the damage you're seeking to avoid so I've never seen the point of having them. But go naked and the chips are bound to follow, so maybe it works better having something and removing/cleaning it carefully every now and then.

Bringing this thread back to life.

Anyone have an Aegean Blue touring with the OEM bra on? I'm thinking of getting itnsince I do a lot of highway driving.

I also like the look of just the hood part on and the middle piece. Since the bumper isn't metal, not to worried about it.

100% agree! Clear bra is by far the best option. If the OP is just looking for protection on one drive, use this stuff. I use on my Focus ST when I take it to the track. Just take it off right away. It can leave adhesive behind if it drys out.

Not too difficult. You just have to replace a screw in the front wheel wells, everything else is a matter of wedging a tab and hooking elastics in place. Also comes with paper instructions. I found a website honda-accessories.com and they are selling the OEM nose bra for half the price the dealer is charging you. Dealers are such rip-offs. Good luck to you.

Excuse the dust. Yeah there's like a built-in deflector. Made a quick stop on the way home from the Bay Area. Here you go:

im going to have to invest in one of these. I drive on the highway alot, so i figure it'll give me some protection. Needless to say, it gives it a nice rally look in my opinion.
