Bra?
Well as most of you know i hit a deer and effed up my front end. I already have the new turn signal and im working out a deal for a new(er) green fender but i cant find a bumper for any less than $250, and then ill need to get it painted.
So the question is...should i get myself a bra? The general consensus is that if a "quality" bra is purchased, and the paint is cleaned somewhat frequently, the bra shouldnt do any damage to good paint. I can get said "quality" bra for ~80-100.
thoughts?

In my opinion-
No.
1.) They look dumb
2.) They don't do **** against another deer strike
3.) No matter how good and how well you clean, stuff will still get underneath
4.) Did I mention they look dumb?

j0n i say if you can find one for the meantime rather cheap do it, save up for the new bumper though. Kinda a tough decision...duct tape while very functional and is efficient in what its doing, its not a very pretty look.

Doesn't look so bad. A bra would be ok. Or do a Formula front clip conversion! Surely I jest.
