[etlsport]

I would say that is an awsome price, and yeah, i would be wanting some extra material for the sides.

I am curious though, does the back of the mag. bra have any "felty, or soft" backing to it? or is it just bare magnet sheet??? hmmm....im sure if it didnt, i could come up with something. im not trying to tear down the product....i think its a great idea, and product. just wouldnt want to scratch the paint trying to adjust the bra's "fit" when putting it on......im sure you will address this isssue when you get yours.
im starting to wonder if i ever did own a vx, i keep pinching myself, and the bank keeps sending me bills for one, but i havent drove it for over 2 months, but this would be on my list as first thing to do when i do get it back.

Bim, now you can use the magnet bra, so your spray on bra wont get any chips....

Let us know, Etl. If it fits good, I'm down for one also. I have so many rock chips and it would be nice to avoid getting more.

ok.. so who ACTUALLY thought id be able to wait til tomorrow to try the thing on? you were WRONG no way i was gonna be able to wait.. haha my girlfriend brought the VX home, i ran out, gave her a quick kiss and almost knocked her over tryin to get to the hood release so i could put it on... at first i was like OH NO cause there were lots of air bubbles and a generally awful fit... then i stopped worrying about overhang in the front because the instructions say its okay to roll it around then use the trim to hold it... which i did.. and before i knew it.. presto.. it fit wonderfully.. only complaint i have is that the trim piece they provide was like 1" too short, it makes it kinda difficult to finish it, and you cant really cut corners because if you do the trim will hit other body panels.. take note around the headlight area, i dont have headlight gaskets, those who do will have to take extra care to get it put on nice and tight to not interfere with them
overall impressions

i like the finish.. very nice satin finish
looks very smooth, only rough spots on mine are over two rock chips that started to rust and i havent had time to touch up, so they bubbled a bit, you can see those pushing through the bra
it sits nice and firmly, doesnt slide around, while trying to adjust for a good fit, i couldnt slide the bra around without taking about 60% of it up first
it wiped clean with just a microfiber cloth, no more finger prints or dirt (threw some on and wiped it off to see LOL
if someone really wants it.. they can take it... but it will be a pain
really easy to take off once the hood is popped.. the second time i put it on, it took me about 5 minutes, so its possible you could take it off and put it back on only for road trips/offroading, just remember you need to wax the hood before you put it on.. any other questions just ask, anyone interested in the group buy please send me a pm with your email address and i will send email updates about progress.. overall i would give the bra a B+/A- simply because of the trim piece length being short, other than that i have no complaints at all.. worth the money for sure even before ive given it the road test

all the photos can be seen here....

...and here are the highlights






with a longer trim piece (which i will request) the part above the passenger headlight will not stick up

Thosse of you interested in these, be careful - DON'T leave them on all the time. Eventually very fine dirt works it's way under magnetic signs, and rubs at your paint. This is not good - I'm speakinig from experience.

[tysamigo]

Uh oh. Are they easy enough to remove and reinstall each time I wash the truck (about every 1-2 weeks for me)?

I am curious though, does the back of the mag. bra have any "felty, or soft" backing to it? or is it just bare magnet sheet???

I'd also be interested to know the type of material used. In that picture, what is the border on the leading edge made of, and would that be part of this product, or was that a picture of someone elses personal project?
