My New LQQK

Took off the hood protector, but not quite feeling the look without it. To leave it off or to put it back on, that is the question.

NOW



THEN

I was going to get one, way back in '01, but passed.
I am surprised they don't offer them in color matched,
or some color besides the smoked plastic look. Yeah,
I know one get it painted, but...

Your white X looks a lot cleaner without it, imo.

Hmm, thanks for your thought, for some reason the grill should be titanium silver too to match the skid plate.

I was considering color match painting it too or the clear bra. I just cant stand stone chip damage on the front.

Looks much better and cleaner without it! How about the clear bra.... the vinyl type that contours to the vehicle and is undetectable?

I would leave it off, I'm not a fan of the hood piece or a bull-guard for that matter. The grill will look better silver with the silver skid IMO.

Can't quite get that you like the look of it more than without.......
Reminds me of my days with my pops 5 and the Colgan Bra's

Looks much better without it IMO. Why not try taking the matching piece on the sunroof off as well? It would look even cleaner.

Just put clearbra. You won't regret it. It has been on all my cars since 2003.
