Bra - Bug sheild

[scott3710]

Is the front nose of the 05 SR5 the same as the 07 SR5?

I purchased a full nose bra for an 05, because I couldn't find anything for an 07. It hasn't come in yet and maybe I should have asked before buying it...

Thanks
Scott

The fronts are different for 2003-05 vs. 2006+. The sheet metal themselves (fenders and hood) are the same, but the trim under each headlight, grille, lower grille opening, foglights, bumper and fender flares are different.

Check the gallery sub forum for pictures of the 2006+ update.

OK, do you think the bra will fit?

They still make bras for cars? Wow,how '90s. :

3M clear bra is better.

Older style bras popularity has dwindled in part to them being a pain to take care of and have to be removed frequently when they get wet and they do trap road debris behind them and do more damage than good so be aware.

Clear bra is the way to go.

Clear Bra

I've seen 1 on a car. How hard is it to take off after a few years when it may need to be replaced? What are the pros and cons with those?

Thanks in advance

I don't see where the question here or in any of the other threads about the same has been answered:

Will any of the 4th generation bras marketed pre-2006 fit the later models? In other words, will a "05" bra fit a "06/07"? Particularly the bumper piece?

Yes, I know the bumper/front end was redesigned in 2006. Will any of them stretch to accommodate the changes?

I don't care if it looks stupid. I don't care if there's maintenance. I don't care if it doesn't fit 'perfect'.

I do care winter is approaching, they "sand" with gravel where I'm going, and not ONE of the FIVE major companies (found with a computer and a search engine) in the vehicle bra business offer one a 4th gen model later than 2005.

And I have zero interest in 3M and their 3000% mark up on the "clear bra".

Feeling kinda stupid for buying something with a painted bumper fascia I can't find affordable, seasonal, protection for.

Ugh. Very, very frustrating.

ETA: because I often don't catch I didn't use the correct auto-speak until days later....eye = suck

Final ETA: Finally found one! See the thread I started regarding.
