P5 front mask

[h4tor1]

Any idea where I can get the lowest price for P5 front mask? On mazdastuff.com, they want it for $94. I am sure I can get cheaper than that. Come on guys, hook me up

[h4tor1]

$94.00 is pretty cheap really. BTW, the P5 bra doesn't fit very well around the headlight/grill area.

Dealer list price is upwards of 139... I bought for 115.

no camera so no pitchures but like i said the hole so very very tiny just where a rock hit it on the highway if you buy it and think the hole is to big i would have no problem sending back the money it's more like a nick than a hole

I wouldn't get a bra,bro.Sure it'll protect against rocks/bug juice but overtime it'll ruin your paint.

My $0.02.

 

[mp5zoomer]

only if you dont take it off once in awhile to clean it and the car

 

[h4tor1]

I am thinking just to use the bra for long way drive. For daily driving, I will not use it for sure. That's why I am still looking for the cheapest price and if it possible, used one. Thanks for the opinion

arent those bras easy to get stolen??

 

[seth]

yeah and they trap sand under them which acts like sand paper on your paint.

i guess that would be a problem if you were driving through the desert.

or if you lived in the snow belt....that's the crap (sand) they spray all over the roads so us crazys (for livin here!) don't slide into each other all winter.

i bought a bra last year to protect my bumper and hood and it was a pain to take off and clean after evry storm....i might be selling it soon!

hmmm,,,so from what i see in the forum, our OEM front bra is hard to install and it doesn't do any good for the paint. But how about if I just put the front bra when I need it? In other word, I will not use the bra everyday, just for highway or long way drive. Do you guys think I will do any harm for the paint?

as long as you don't mind doing the maintenance, clean the bra and car as needed. it does save your nose from all the chipping which is probably worse than and minor scratches from the bra itself.

The bra doesn't scratch. For lots of highway driving is a good idea. Keeps the stone chips off of the front and lower hood.

I've had mine since I got the car, summer of 2001, and I put it one very winter.

I take it off, whenever its decent out, throw it in the washing machine and spray the front of the car down to get rid of any loose sand and crap before I put it back on.

The first time to get on is a pain, but then after than is easy.

Throw it in the dryer before you put it on to loosen and stretch it out. Also when in the dryer, throw it in a big pillow case or something so the hooks don't get caught on the little holes of the inside of the dryer.

A bra will not hurt the paint as long as you take it off every time you wash the car. What will hurt the paint is leaving the bra on when washing. Then the dirt gets trapped along with the soapy water. That will discolor and scratch the paint.

It is not too bad to take off and put back. It takes me about 2 minutes to take it off and about 10 to put it back on.
