Default XK8 support garments

Does anyone know if a bra is available for an 04 XK8? I haven't been able to find one.

I just had to find out what a 'car bra' is so here's a link to a supplier for the 2004 XK8:

2004 Jaguar XK Speed Lingerie Car Bra

You don't want one. They are supposed to protect the paint under the bra, but in reality, little bits of dirt and sand get between the bra and the paint and they slowly scratch the living **** out of the paint job. I had one on another car many years ago, and the bra did more damage than stone chips would have.

There's another product call Star Shield which is a clear "sticker", basically, that is stuck to the nose of the car. I've read great things about it. Some luxury car dealers just automatically install it. Just go look up ads for Lotus Elises and you'll see that most of them have the Star Shield installed.

Plus, bras look ugly. I much prefer the braless look.

+1,+1,+1 the Rev.

Rev;
Glad to see those MJ sticks are working.

If it matters most Ferraristas apply the clear shields to the front quarters of their cars.

HR;
This is kind of a personal question and I am not sure why a guy with a TR-6 is asking this?

Are you cross dressing?

Regardless they definitely do more damage to the car than going without.

Same can't be said unfortunately for the folks who have to deal with gravity every day as much as the other half of the folks prefer their 'kitties' that way.

cheers,

jj
