Got a price on a car bra from Car Bra™ today, black with blue trim plus mirror covers $550. Anyone know a cheaper alternative? Or indeed if not cheaper, maybe a better brand? Thanks in advance. I heard someone from Wodonga is doing good ones?

Mine was a touch over $400.00. I wouldnt worry about the mirror ones. They are nothing to respray compared to the bumper.

I've seen somewhere (can't remember where, may of been on the internet) a clear plastic contact type "car bra" cut out in the shape of the front your car. Made by 3M I think.
Here is a link, not the actual product I was talking about but some generic stick on clear film |

No they usually look after us? Maybe ring Tony as he has got what you want and ask how much he paid, l know with the stripeing that bumps the price up

i cant understand the non-invisible 'car bras' why would you put something that ugly on your car just to protect the bumper.

Have a look on EBAY, I got mine really ultra cheap on there..
It was around the $100 mark from memory (maybe a little bit more)... but it was brand new  Mine is the Car Bra by ROBCO Products (plain black)..

You could also contact Robco etc and ask about seconds.. every single place that makes anything usually has a seconds bin.. This means a great product with flaws that aren't a major concern but sold at a greatly reduced price.. Something to consider and try at least (you won't know unless you ask).. Good luck either way...
