Mag Bra?

[jtkkz]

Hello
Has anyone have any experience with Mag Bra?

www.magbra.com

Does it work well?

Does it scratch the paint?

Thank You for your replies.

I had one once, it worked nicely and did not scratch the paint (I kept bra and car very clean), but one day it up and flew off at 65 mph on Hwy 80. I called Mag Bra, they very graciously sent me another piece, and a few weeks later it flew off too. At that point I gave up.

Basically, the material gets stiff when cold, like most vinyls, so one day you might get a little wave in the leading edge that you don't notice and which doesn't flatten itself out, and even a small gap between the leading edge and the hood can cause the Mag Bra to peel off at highway speeds. I'm sure this qualifies as operator error, but I just can't be that careful. Especially since you're removing / reinstalling the Mag Bra quite often, as the car gets wet, washed, etc.

My suggestion, instead, is to buy a roll of magnetized vinyl sheet (you can find a 2' X 10' roll online for $20-30) and cut your own magnetic bra. It'll work just as well (maybe better, since its thinner and more flexible than the Mag Bra), and when it flies off that's only $5 gone. And you can make door protectors, racing numbers, magnetized bumper stickers, whatever. It's hard to use up 10 feet of the stuff . . .

The Elephant Racing Track Skin includes a strip on the front edge to prevent it from flying off at speed.
