antp ◊ 2007-03-20 15:02	Yes, it is (2nd gen Jetta).
CarChasesFanatic ◊ 2007-03-20 15:06	why do some cars in the USa have like a "plastic" on the front? is it to cover anything?
antp ◊ 2007-03-20 15:12	To protect the car from gravel and other thing that may be projected by the car that you follow I suppose.
CarChasesFanatic ◊ 2007-03-20 15:12	is it really for that?
jettalover ◊ 2009-08-11 03:28	Yes, carchasefanatic, it really is fot that. They are commonly called bras. Besides looking ugly, in my opinion, the paint underneath the bra doesn't fade at the same rate as the uncovered paint. So if the bra is removed in the future the paint might not match.
Neptune ◊ 2009-08-11 03:37	I think they look tacky. But this is coming from a person who likes vehicles factory stock.
jettalover ◊ 2009-08-11 04:03	Neptune, you summarized it perfectly. I too like vehicles as factory stock as possible.
