honestly i think you need to lose the bra. when i bought my car it came with one on it, and i left it on for a couple of days but then i took it off and my car looked 10 times better (IMO)
and on a side note, if it rains a lot (like in the northwest) you will get rust

I agree with Jeff, loose the bra. It can totally ruin your paint if dirt gets under it and you dont take care of it. Other than that looks good!

that is the same thing my friends with Rx-7 say, but in my opinion the S4 look alot better with the bra on.. and plus i have a big smash that is under there, bought it like that unfortunatly w/o me knowing... o well i have conmpared them alot, not even caring about the smash i think my white car looks nice with it, i hate the s4 front bumper.. thxs for the input though...

U are right man! i am planning on getting the corksport front bumber and S5 fenders w/ a new turbooII hood. and then i will loose the bra. ya my hood and fenders are scratched under the bra, but then again the car had it for all its life so its will always have scratches there.. but u can't see them unless u take it off.. i will get a pic up comparing them soon and then see for urself and ofcourse tell me. lol i don't care if u say bad **** either, i most likely won't change my car becuz some ppl say this or that, my car is about my won self gratification, but its always nice to hear other ppls input!

Looks real clean - fine FC example but I'd ditch the bra, remove the stripe and paint the moldings to match.

Where did you get the blue hoses and stuff? Did you make them yourself by painting or just buy them?

well i had to replace them all when i had my injectors cleaned so i went to summit and bought the vac hoses by the name of MATRIX, the fuel lines and clamps are SPECTRE, and the others are convolted tubing, Talyor/Vertex.
