Okay so the outlander is my first car right and I simply love it. So I'm slowly getting all the upgrades and the Latest part is the OEM nose mask. Since I live in toronto Canada, we get alot of snow and nasty weather and I wanted to protect the nose of the outlander from winter abuse. All the salt and ice will really kill the paint so I bought the nose mask. But let me tell you that thing was A PAIN IN THE *** to attach. I followed the instructions exactly and it took me a about 1.5 hours to attach the stupid thing. Basically the nose mask is made a few inches too small and you have to super strech the material to fit the outlander nose exactly. At one point I was thinking about letting the dealership put it on. But how lame would that be...... So if you buy the nose mask be fore warned.

So how does it look? Well I have mixed fellings about it but the paint will be spared the damage.

 

The best way to put it on is if you have a dryer big enough to handle it put the bra in for about 3-5 minutes, not too long though, just enough to warm it up.

This allows it to stretch a whole lot easier.

The other options are:

If you have someone to help have them use a blowdryer to warm the section your trying to stretch and you pull it around.

On a sunny warm day, leave the bra inside the car and let it warm that way.

Tight fit at normal temps are what you want when it comes to nose masks.

I had a custom mask for another car that I had to put in the dryer every time, and it works like a charm.

 

sorry, was there a pic with this thread?

just wondering

 

reread it lol, guess no pics.

 

I'd go with the plastic wind guard!

 

Not to get too far off topic. I hear there is a full mask offered by LeBra for $80.
Are there any other brands or less expensive full masks out there for the Outlander?

 

I have not seen a nice looking mask for a good price yet.....
