radman3120 Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 I know it's asked a lot but what do you guys think for my white Z34? The bra is definitely staying and I think I want to eventually tint the headlights and taillights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Psych0matt Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 clear corners = and you could always get headlight covers, then you could at least take them off at night Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

logikf1ve Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 I say fix the gas door and fix all the dangly shit on the bottom of your car, THEN do the things like tinting the headlights (IMO bad idea) and removing the pinstripe.

runt Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 Tear off the stripe, but leave the Z34 on there. Clear the corners, and lightly tint the tails. Then, all done! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pwmin Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 i would do a total debadge, but if you're not going to lose the bra, there is no point to doing anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about the "Chevrolet" and "Z34" on the trunk lid? i would do a total debadge' date=' but if you're not going to lose the bra, there is no point to doing anything. [/quote'] I used to spend hours trying to get the bugs off and stone chips repaired after a trip or two between school and home and now I am driving to work everyday on the same roads with trucks throwing rocks and other debris all over so the bra def has to stay. Also, when someone backed into me in a parking lot, the body shop that did the repair did a shitty job on the hood because now you can see where there was work done on the front of it, so I want to cover that up too. I actually didn't like it when I first put it on but I think I've grown pretty partial to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I drove my camaro more, i'd put one on there, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

radman3120 Posted January 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 wow, i didn't think the bra was that bad. it's gotta stay for now, though. it might come off once i move back to pa permanently in a few years. maybe in the spring i will take some pics without it, lol.

intern8tion9l Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 if you must have something, go with the clear bra as suggested. bras were only kinda cool when your car was just being manufactured Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radman3120 Posted January 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 it seems to me that a clear bra would look bad except from really far away since you would still be able to see it but then again i didn't even know they made them, i've never seen 'em. i'm starting to lean more towards just leaving the pinstripes but i might try to mess around with my very limited photoshop skills just for the heck of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Euro Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 You can tint your headlights without sacrificing too much light. Regal guys do it all the time(IIRC BOTH Regal Shaun/Sean's have it done) and us GP guys do it a lot too. One of my next mods too. Edit...actually, not sure how it would look on the patterned headlights like the Lumina's have. Both Regals and GP's have clear headlight lenses...so there goes that But you could go the headlight covers route...then you can buy my old ones....

rockfangd Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 Le bras are very bad because over time moisture gets trapped, and everything else and when you go to remove it the hood may be rotted or damaged. The clear bras are very nice and i would highly recommend them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
