Default Nose Mask/Bra?

Hello All,

I'm getting delivery of my Indigo Nav on Monday night (Yeah!) and we decided, of course, to forgo the plastic coat for the front of the car. However, I would like to put on a Nose Mask for long trips/Inclement weather (most of winter here in NE )

Has anyone found any for the 2002 RX300?

Thanks!

There is a stone/rock/bug guard at http://www.irontoad.com IMO, it is ugly, but may be a good choice since it can be put on and taken off when you need it. Probably easier than a bra to remove.

While I don't advocate using a front mask (I use to in the past and live in the NE also), here is company that makes all kinds and for the RX300:
http://www.covercraft.com/

Let me know if you have a hard time finding a dealer.

Hope this helps,
TC

two piece unit fits incredibly well using Lexus pre-setup
unused holes on the underside of the hood!!
Well worth the investment for long highway trips...just got back

Bioart,

Here's another option.

3M PLASTIC
This is a 3M's 8 mil clear-coated urethane plastic. It is specifically designed to preserve the beauty and integrity of exterior automotive finishes without compromising or altering the appearance of the vehicle. The material itself is guaranteed by 3M for 5 years against manufacturers defects and not to yellow, crack or craze. It covers front bumper, hood, mirrors, rear bumper top, and rear bumper. The plastic is barely visible from 3 feet away and hardly visible on dark or silver color models. I'm very satisfied, especially knowing it will be protected from the damage. Check www.xpel.com or www.clearmask.com for additional info. If you decide to order it, call Alan at 407-927-1900. (approx $170) or 1-407-833-0505 or invinca-shield.com. He is the cheapest.

Good luck

Default Invinca-shield

That looks like one of my old messages! I highly recommend Invinca-shield - www.invinca-shield.com

You can call Alan Seligman at 407-927-1900, tell him I sent you, he'll treat you right!

There are photos of my install at my website:

Enjoy!

Default Hey, commack4

Is this the 2 piece Iron Toad Front end mask?

If so, can you install just one piece (hood)?

Personally, I have a Colgan 2-piece. Although, I havent used it since I installed the RMM Grill, I am thinking about pulling it out when I drive to Atlanta on Friday. Thing is I'm going to have to get creative, whereas the stock grill is open, the RMM is mesh, I might have to make a small incision in the mesh to pull the straps through, and I will have to find alternate securing points.

There's is one annoying factor, which I have never previously experienced with colgan bras's on past cars (3 BMW's, GTI)- this one starts to lift at about 80+ mph. Drives me crazy, but, it's worth the extra debri protection especially on "hazard highway" otherwise known as I-95. It's also serves as passive speed governor

Paddy Wagon, I wonder the same. Additionally, what kind of material are they? Leather or pleather? Either or neither? hehe. Would like to know.
