Front Bra Wanted

Does anyone have a lead on where to buy a removable front bra (the black vinyl type)? I can't seem to locate a vendor that has them for the 451's yet.

Thanks

Have not seen any mentioned so far; you might consider the 3M clear bra system if you don't find a vinyl version.

Careful...

Those things destroy paint, which is a bit more robust than the plastic panels that these things came with. I'd hate to see a hood that had a bra installed after a few years.

There is just no logical reason for a car bra on a smart. For the price of the bra and fitting, you can buy 3 brand new front panels.

My thoughts exactly.

I have a problem with my hood. Apparently something has flown up off the road and dinged the hood to the right of the emblem. Now the clear coat is looking to be delaminating from the surface. SMART has taken a look at it and trying to decide if they will cover under warranty.

When I removed my front emblem there was also a small divot there too. Maybe coincidence, but then again it may be the way they fixture things. No delamination and a touch of clear, 1800 grit and buffing took it out.
