That's pretty cool, and they have them for the GE too... I know you were wondering!

 

Seeing how you have chips and scratches on your hood already, I think this is a pretty cool idea. But I wouldn't recommend this to people who have a hood in decent shape. Speaking from experience, using magnets on our cars is just asking for trouble. I had magnetic numbers when I auto crossed and it ended up making small scratches from small pieces of stuff being stuck between the two surfaces. I'm sure it wouldn't have happen if I would have made sure both parts were super clean and if we didn't race in a parking lot made of pebbles.

 

yep they sure do! its good for both fits!

ya they have instructions saying that you need to make sure that the car is well waxed right before you put it on, it also says to check it once in awhile to make sure you dont have any dust or anything underneath, so as long as the car is waxed real good and you check it once in awhile than ull be ok, but like u said my car has a million chips in it already underneath the bra so im not worried, but i think that nomatter if it was a magnet bra or a leather bra id think that it might scratch it if it wasnt waxed.

 

Hey man, thanks for the link and pics. In my opinion, I think your car would look great without those stickers. Think about it!

 

I've had one for over a year, looks really good on the BOM, definitely protects the hood but it's starting to bubble in a couple of places.

 

ya ill rock it til i get tired of it. Until then they might just stay on. Ur talking about the cf stickers right?

sweet! Im so glad u got one too. This thing is the best thing ive put on my car in a long time. Plus you cant beat the price at all

 

I just ordered one, should receive it next week !

 

Sweet bro! Im so glad people are getting hint on how sweet this product is. Can wait to see it on someone elses car! Wat color fit u got?

 

I have a TW GD3! I'll post pics when it will be on the car !

 

Ok cool i cant wait!

 

Just installed it ! It fit really great on the car, nice product !

I also installed my winter wheels at the same time

 

make you you have plenty of wax under there. those things will stain your white finish!

many people from the MINI world knows this from magnetic gumballs (numbers on doors)

 

I put 2 layers of wax on the hood, I think it will be ok !

 

Ya it says in the instructions to wax the hood real good. I waxed the crap out of mine, man does urs look good or what, i love the way these things look on the fit, it really looks good on a modded fit. i cant wait to see who else we can get on board with buying these!

 

Can't someone just walk by and take it off, if it's just connected by a magnet?

 

nope i thought the same thing wen i saw it, but theres a gasket that goes around the whole thing that tucks under the edge of the hood, when the hood is closed its imposible to steal, you can see the gasket in my pictures.
