Returning Old Member w New Questions: ie Bra Supplier & AC Drain Lines
Greetings to All. I have enjoyed these forums and used the knowledge contained herein on many different mod subjects dating back to 2003.I have recently taken possession of a second Vibe (2008) as a companion to my first Vibe (2003). I would appreciate ur advice on the best supplier of a 'bra' for both cars. I have read about 'LeBra' and 'Covercraft' but do not know how well each fits, durability, etc.Also, where would I find both ends of the AC drain lines so I can clear it of possible blockage ? Are there any other drain lines such as the fresh air intake cowling at the base of the windshield I should clear ? I would be interested in meeting up with any of you who may be in the vacinity of Indianapolis.

I was going to post up and say there are some drain hose pics in http://forums.genvibe.com/zerothread?id=10977 but after that "ghey guys" comment I am not sure I should. I certainly won't answer the bra question.

Hey Guys, thanx to Joatman, Ramenboy, and NUBlackshirts for the replys as of today Tuesday Aug 21. I'm an old F#rt and not always sure I have the process of working these Bulletin Brds correctly. I'm not versed in using IM either so I do not have that turned on. I will look at the sites you've sent me for more info. Also, I have discon'd the DRLs in my 2003 several years ago. Used info from the GenVibe forums. Does anybody know of any new twists by GM for a 2007/08 that says I cannot do the same trick again.

Any down side effects or negatives to this Bra ? Looks nice and tight. I have the body armor on my "Stealth" colored '08. Do you think this bra may be too tight w the extra boby parts ? Any paint chafing ?

Re: Returning Old Member w New Questions: ie Bra Supplier & AC Drain Lines (VIBE CAM)
I haven't seen any paint chafing. You should wash them regularly because leaves and dirt can get stuck behind it. we have the 2 pc. Le Bra on both; I got them on eBay.Fits good, though the flaps designed to protect the base of the headlights don't seat the way they should. Other than that coverage and fit are good. The area near us is industrial/deep draft harbor, and the semi's, filled with gravel, cement and other horrors, always leave early in the morning, leaving a 'shower' for all of the others on the freeway. Unfortunately, they go the same way I do, and almost to the same destination (the harbor) My mom had me remove it from Frosty once, but when she found multiple dings, had me put it back on.

OK, Thanx HPLover for the info. Still studying my options and how to handle bra after it arrives.
