Phreak needs one. Looking at his front, you'd guess he drives about 2" behind the semi's. Thrill of living in MI.

however the below mentioned is a very common/wrong notion people have about leather bra's...

I've had OEM leather bra's on my old 90' celica.
I currently have oem bra's on my es, camry and my solara (its not like we use them 24/7). As long as your keep your underside clean and claybar it once a year, your hood will not have scratches from using the bra. I used the bra continiuosly on my celica for 2+ years w/o scratches, our ES has become a commuter car as well..so thats one lately has had its bra for over 2+ years as well (thankfully w.o bra damage). Yes they look hideous, but then again, our 175+ mile es looks like it was a 2004 model!
lol tell that to my poor toyota tercel and my parents monte carlo. leather bra scratched the crap out of both cars.....
