Hood Bras on Foxbodies (Pics?)

fredfifty · Jan 31, 2019

Does anyone have a hood bra on their fox that can share a pic? I want to get one but would like to see how it looks and how you like it. I cant seem to find a pic of one at all on the interwebz

I used to have one on my 89 gt convertible. That thing ruined the paint on my hood. While driving it'll flap a very little bit....just enough to make dirt and dust grind your paint away. It scuffed the fenders but wore deep spots that I could catch with my finger nail in the hood. I wouldn't advise putting one on any car.

I used it to cover a cracked front bumper. The only picture I can find is thus one from mustang week 09...

Yeah don't go with one of those. If your concerned about your paint, have a vinyl company install a clear bra protector on the front end of the vehicle.

I swear when I saw this post I thought someone had revived a thread from 1993, lol.

My dad had a bra on the '89 that got me into this foxbody thing. Don't do it... I suppose if you do it right, it will serve as protection, but if you leave a bra on it without routine cleaning, it will trap dirt and ultimately scratch the paint, leaving clear marks where the bra was. Not worth the trouble in the long run.

Here's the thing.
Bra's on foxbody's or any other car do not look good.
Back in the day they were used as a fashion statement, but kinda like vent visors and chrome fender or door trim, they were a horrible idea.

If you need it for protection during a long ride, I get it.
But regardless, how it looks is irrelevant.

I'd look into 3m clear bra.

What is worse is the flapping at high speed. I had one for a few years and had also come up with my own method to keep it stretched tight without ripping at the attach points. Here's the thing: That thing is going to flap at any decent speed (at least on an 86). There is really no way to completely eliminate the stretching and loosening.

Not the best option for what I lovingly refer to as, "The Flying Brick" IMO.

If you are just cruising around and you like the look, I say Go For It. I used to take mine on and off depending... 5 minutes tops to remove, takes just a few minutes more to reinstall and get it tightened up again.

They rate up there with mud flaps, fake mag wheel covers and stick on flames

Thank you, Noobz, for the new CT. LMAO... To all the other "SN Techs," behold his wrath when using your powers against him. LOL!

I couldn't find any bra pix but I did dig up some old "pro net" tailgate pix if you're looking to mod your truck too

Yeah well... The whole car bra thing petered out before they had cameras in every phone. Selfies were not a 'thing' yet. The first cell phone camera didn't pop up in the US until 2002.

Haha. Dont worry 5.0 were still on the dealer lot when I was in h.s. & the only selfie I've even taken was of my crankshaft to send to a gf.
I was just bustin chops a little....

I don't usually bother with CTs for new accounts but.....
