I'm looking at a "2004" Wolf bra and wondering if the 2003 and 2004 Vibes/Bras are the same? Listed at Amazon 2004/04 482-49070 for $63.25

they should be the same 03/04 fronts were identical so you shouldnt have a problem

Thanks. The price at Amazon for a WOLF Bra $63.25 which includes shipping was a good one. AutoAnything wanted 79.95

seems like a good find..im not a fan of the car bra's

What kind of problems or trouble with them>

i know 1 thing...if dirt or any sand or pebbles get under it..it can scratch the crap out of your hood without you knowing..thats one of the main reasons 3M came out with the clear vinyl type bra..that and it looks better then the huge black leather stuff you see

He was driving one day and a buckle or something came loose and completely rubbed the paint off a section of the side of the bumper. Not to mention difference in the aging of the paint underneath. The clear protective film is the way to go.

I agree with the fact that bra's can mess up a car if the owner doesn't take them off at least once every two weeks. I have one on mine and I take it off once a week, religiously. I have an hour and a half, roundtrip drive to the academy through rural Ohio (farm country) so it is worth the extra work compared to tons of bugs and small/medium rocks smashing into the paint.

I guess if you stick to it, it's ok. I know I never could! I see the bra covers the front license plate. That kinda sucks.

That kinda sucks.There is stitching on the LeBra that you undo to open up the license plate area. Very easy to do.I've had my LeBra on my car for 6 years now and besides the fading issue I haven't had any problems. Only take the bra off twice a year to wax.

I like mine. Out gt is black so it does not show as much. We need it because we tow the car behind our motorhome. I take it off occassionally and clean good and polish the area. It works for us.If you are only concerned about bugs, try this:Dryer sheet dipped in warm water, wipes bugs right off. Better, by far, than any bug cleaning junk you can buy.Dan

At the present time I have the plate in the front windshield. I wanted to wait until the bra stretched enough before cutting it. I finally have a day off Tuesday so I may cut it then. As far as the extra care needed with a bra, I already clean the car often anyway. I will take it off during the winter though.
