New Highrock and a quick bra question!
Hey all!
Just installed my new Highrock 4x4 bumper and am totally stoked... my PIAA 's should arrive tommorow so again, stoked!
A few shots:
And and a before shot for comparison:
Now for the quick question... a friend of mine bought me that bra for the holidays... I've never thought about running with one, but I figured I would throw it on and see how it looked...
Like the bra? Dislike? I am kinda torn so I need some community opinion
Thanks all!

Bumper and bra look great!
If you do any highway driving, the bra will save you from rock chips. With all due respect to JKKAT (and you do have my utmost respect), I don't think there will be a significant impact on performance due to the restriction of airflow to the stock airbox. We are assuming there was any level of performance to begin with.
I installed a round weatherstrip-type seal underneath the stock rubber gasket to prevent the hood from fluttering about at highway speeds. The addition of the weatherstrip supports the stock rubber gasket from collapsing under high-speed airflow. It stops air from coming into the engine compartment between the hood and grill, thereby eliminating any resistance caused by the hood and prevents the hood from opening at speeds in excess of 50mph. There are 2 areas near the left and right edges of the hood & grill where there is no rubber gasket or weatherstrip and I think there is more than sufficient airflow coming in to feed the airbox.
I don't think the bra would would restrict airflow between the hood and grill as much as I have, so it should be OK. Besides, there is plenty of air coming in from underneath the engine compartment also - especially if you remove the stock plastic air dam thingy.
Congrats on the bumper - can't wait to see the PIAAs on it.
