Ha ha, Boogerg. That's exactly what I said to myself when I saw that pic. That is one nasty looking bra. It looks like some one slapped a Darf Vader helmet on the Element to promote Revenge of the Sith. Or Hannibal Lecter bra. Humm, "Agent Clarice Starling, I'm your father."

those were from our so cal element on may 8th and the bra is a custom made one that cover the whople front. no one has that one. as for darth. hey who cares the movie is coming up and we are haveing a nice star wars element meet later this week at super autobacs. and beside it makes a nice hood orniment. but this post was to show the show at pro-motion last weekend where injuen showed off their new element exhust system.

Do you have a picture of the rear ? Maybe a thong or some granny panties back there ? :-D :shock:

Not true. Have you seen the difference between a nice sexy lace bra, and a support bra? they arent the same, are they? one would be something I would like to look at, and one belongs back in the '40s.

haha, you were kinda thinking the same way I was...

you need a big bra to cover all the areas for a e cup...a stringy one just wont do.
but getting back to the element. that bra was designed to protected all the painted plastic parts.

His name here is HBElement. And that is the Colgan custom bra.
Do a search for his thread to see more pix.

Yeah those wheels do look good on his E. I wanted to get a set of those but they are out of my budget.

I think they are these: http://www.falkentire.com/wheels_kob.htm

Most likely they are the 18X8 5x114.3 35mm offset wheels.

Which leads me to 2 questions...

1. What's the point of painting them if you are just going to cover them... and

2. How does that make sense, considering 90% of the hood is covered too.

The whole idea of the bra on car is simply dumb.. This guy wanted the goood looks of a painted E, yet he slaps on a piece of vinyl that covers up 90% of it. I don't see how anyone can see his logic... except for nippo... but that's So-CO E love right? chuckle....

oh boogreg...why you again..here we go againg and since you dont do any car shows and only critical about other peps rides, let me explain it in a way you would understand. first he has a very nice ride w/ or with out the bra. and he has a nice paint job. of course he want to protect it. since the paint on the plastic is very frigile, will people would want to protect it with a large bra...but i guess for you it would be masking tape job since your too cheap to put anything on your element. his bra is big and covers the whole thing which is good if you are gona do a long drive and dont want any bug or stone cracking your paint.
logic is simple. you spend 1 to 2 grand on painting the plastic you would want to protect it as long as you can. hince you get a big bra and put it on and take it off when you want to show your ride.
and you should check out his paint job...it is very nice. so portect it or spend another 1 or 2 g for paint.

that is some lame excuse. You will never see my PAINTED E with a bra on. thats just gross.

to you maybe lame but for him it is a good way to protect his car. if you dont want to put a bra then dont. you can have it chip or crack over time and by then you probably will trade your e in.
for us show cars show guys for example we want to keep our cars look as perfect as we can. when you take our cars out for a car show far away we would put a bra on to protect the paint and remove it when we get there.
for me i dont use it because i dont paint my panels. no need for me (maybe if i was to drive to vegas for sema). but for him he wants it protected while drive a long distance then that is good for him.
and if you want to make fun of his bra then that's your choice but no one makes a bra that fits the whole front of the element. only one's i seen are the small ones on the hood.
and beside another item that is made for the element is all good for us as a car group (since there arnt that many maunfurer that supports the e).

seen plenty of black cars take off their bra to find the tiny white fibers from the bra embeded in the paint. not to mention the tan lines.

Thats interesting... in fact, find me ANY other bra that covers that much of the car... and now that I think about it, its for a very good reason... How many times has the top of your hood (near the windshield) been hit by a rock? and the fender?

Who cares what I wrote.. I don't really care where the group's from.. CO, CA.. I just know the granny bra E and his comrades are out there somewhere...
