    Thumbs up

    Yeah, two and a half years ago I did my front cladding in Line-X, and I Line-Xed a bra for the hood. It did bubble on my hood, but that was because my hood had been repainted, and they didn't do a good job repainting it. The guy that Line-Xed it redid it for free. This time he sanded the bad paint job off where he was going to use Line-X. It's been over two years now and everything has been greatm with it.

    Tom,
    do you have a close-up pic of the Line-x bra?

    I'm liking this idea.
    Also, Bart, as for contrast to ebony... Line-x can be done in any color! Check out their site!

    I love the way yours looks Tom! Great job!

    Bullet,

    When my magna-bra dies, I'll probably do like Tom mentioned & get it done in LineX. Same area covered so it'll look very much like it does now.

    Yeah, that's exactly what I did. I had a Magnet-bra first. I didn't like that the Magnet-Bra left a film on my hood when I took it off. I was almost like it melted the film on my hood. I couldn't wash it off either. Some people have waxed their hood before installing the Magnet-Bra. This seems to take care of that issue. I also didn't like that the Magna-Bra looked almost too pretty. I wanted a little rugged look to my bra. lol That sounds funny. Anyhow, I liked the line and shape of the Magnet-Bra, so I had the Line-X guy follow the same line pattern.

    If you look through the pictures of Moab 2009, there should be plenty of pics of my VX. I'll look through it tonight too to see what I can find.

    Peace.
    Tom

    They look great when I have the SeaDoos on the back so ...

    Besides, they go well with the shag carpet I installed last weekend.
