Judging question - C4

[Jim S.]

I'm a new owner of a nice 1996 low-mileage convertible and a renewed NCRS member after being away for 20 years. We purchased the car to drive and enjoy and were pleased to find out that it is elligible for NCRS judging. My question today is what impact on judging points will the installation of a nose mask (bra) make. The only one I have found for that car uses a number of velcro strips that must be installed on the back side of the headlight buckets and other underhood places. I know it is not 'original', but hate to expose the front end to all those chips that are inevitable on our trips without the bra. I have not installed it yet and await input from the experts. Of course, the bra will be removed for judging, but the velcro strips will remain.

Thanks,

Jim and Dianne Simpson

the point loss will be minimum. you would lose more points if your lighter wont pop then the Velcro

I do not recommend leaving these bras on the car for extended periods of time. It's best to use them only on road trips where the car is exposed to a lot of stone chips in a relatively short period of time. These bras can do more damage than good at other times. If they get wet, get them off the car before the sun comes out.

Joe,

I agree, and don't use the bra except for road trips. I did go to the garage to begin fitting the new bra and find that the headlight covers do not fit. I'll search the vendors for a different manufacturer and see if I have better luck.
