Ordered a Tanabe Concept G axle back and a T1R B pipe....waiting on them to be shipped...

 

LED license plate lights

 

 

To all the people who tape up their cars for road trips, I GET IT, but why not throw down the $100 for the nose mask????? It looks good and is definitely easier to get on and off than all that tape (at least easier to put on, maybe the tape comes off faster). Maybe you'd still tape up the pillars and mirrors, but...just a question, cuz I see so many pics of cars taped up...

 

Last min thing.....+ I personally think the tape looks better and putting it on is kinda fun ....Plus all that cost me $10

 

Axed and answered. That works for me!

 

Tape doesn't flap with the wind unlike nose masks. Last one my buddy had slowly beat away at the paint on the edges of the mask and it ended up making horrible marks in the paint. Since then none of us have used a nose mask. Just tape.

 

The tape looks better an better huh.....$10s people...and you can write funny things on your car. win win

 

That's it. I'm selling my bumper mask to buy $100 worth of tape.

 

Wash and wax.

 

 

what is the best type of tape to use? painters type for cars would seem good.? i have thought about a nose bra and or deflector.

 

I agree with meatbaby. do it ten times and its paid for!

 

Perfect thanks, I scratched the bumper and that will cover it haha.

 

Use it ten times an you need a new paint job

 

Description from College Hills Honda, originally from Honda I assume:

"Leather-grain, quality vinyl protects front paint from insects and minor road debris. No-mar fasteners and covered mounting hooks protect finish and allow for easy installation. Felt-lined backing ensures a smooth, wrinkle-free, protective fit that is slip-resistant and mildew-resistant. Multi-piece construction allows hood to be opened without removing mask."

I don't know...I've heard the same that these can wear on your paint after a while. I'm sure the ones for our newish fits are way better than the masks for a 96 civic, but do you guys still think it would destroy the paint after a while?

 

They might be better but with my luck 1/10 times I might not install it right and on a long trip it would damage my paint. I cant mess up with tape....at least nothing that cant be fixed with more tape.



gross

 

Yeah. I think it's only worth while to get the mask if you do a lot of long distance driving. But even if you do highway driving daily, like me, the nose mask would be nice. Certainly looks better on a daily basis than tape! I mean you can put the tape on for a long road trip, but if you drive maybe 20 miles on the highway a day, well that adds up and you'll get chips in your paint just the same...

 

Your not really supposed to get the bra wet....so when it rains it holds moisture to the paint. I think both tape and the bra are only for short term use not everyday. If you really want everyday protection you gotta wrap your front end

 

Don't know if you guys can see it but I did a DIY rear bumper application with extra carbon fiber vinyl I had lying around. I'm too cheap to buy the real deal. Lol.

Just thought I'd share.
