    So this past weekend I saw Ascinder's magnetic bra. I was on the fence about it until then. It looks really good and looks like it will really help deflect the asteroid belt out here. So I think need one now...

    chances are the bubbles are coming from when you put the trim around the bottom... i noticed when installing spike's that when we would push the trim on, it would bunch the bottom of the bra up some and cause bubbles.. if you can get a second person to help you install it, have them hold the bra flat while you put the trim on, other than that, try to install it after you have been driving for a little while so your hood is nice and warm, that will help the bra mold to your hood

    just a friendly reminder.... wax your hood before installation! i would recommend using a "real" wax (as opposed to ice or another liquid synthetic wax) to help protect the hood in the event of a small bit of water or dust getting under the bra

    I noticed the bra bunching when I put the trim on but I thought I had gotten it all flat.

    Let's see - who don't I like - it was pushing 100 degrees when I put it on so the bra was probably about 160 degrees - blisters anyone.

    ETLSPORT - I'll be up your way this weekend to visit the Franklin Institute for the King Tut exhibit. Unfortunately I won't be driving the VX (too many people, so driving the TLC). One day I'll get it up there with it so we can compare notes.

    Just incase any of you care to know: My co-worker has one of these magnetic bras on his mitz. eclipse. His bra is about 5 years old and has 2 silver dollar sized warp bubbles. He doesn't store it with care and it shows no cracks and has not left any scuffs on the paint that i can see. He loves his. Just so people have an idea of how theirs will last...

    Thumbs up

    I got mine friday afternoon, really surprised it came so fast after he apparently just got some new material in. Awesome turnaround! I waited until I had a chance to warm up the bra Saturday afternoon (left it in the front window under hot sun for an hour or so), then drove around for about 20 minutes to warm up the hood real good. It went on real easy but took awhile to get it centered and the very bottom about an 1/8" from the edge of the hood. The instructions tell/show you to leave a little space around the edge and if you don't you will get a couple of bubbles (I did initially) at the bottom when you put the edging on. But I was amazed how easy it was to push these up and away from the bottom after you wax it good (which I had done before I even started per instructions). Thanks again Etl ! Awesome product!
