Thanks for the advice! Good points and I've not purchased a bra for the car. But I'm planning a 2000 mile trip and I'm again considering one just to have it on during the long drives on the highway. It's a 9 day trip so it wouldn't be on all that long. There's just no easy solution to preventing rock chips during travel.

Good idea. The 1998 LS400 I traded in when I bought the 2006 LS430 had the clear bra product on both the mirrors and the front edge of the hood. Even with that the mirrors still had some chips.

Thanks for the reply! Glad to hear they make a good product. I'll be ordering soon :D

Thanks for the link! Looks like there's only 1 manufacturer but apparently its a quality product. Would like to hear from anyone who's purchased and installed a Colgan bra on their LS430.

Just purchased a 2006 LS430 and would like to protect the front end with a cover. I've not found anything on the forum about the pros and cons of installing a cover. Also, I've only found 1 company that manufactures them. Would appreciate any advice. Thanks!

I bought a 2006 certified LS430 yesterday with ventilated/heated seats and I've noticed that very little air comes through the seats, and it appears to be the temp of the cabin air. I've eliminated the air filters as the culprit, so I think its what others have posted here: its just not gonna be air conditioned air. I suppose that's why Lexus refers to them as ventilated rather than cooled seats. Regardless, its a great car. I had no idea I "needed" radar cruise control, but after driving from Fort Worth back to Houston I'm spoiled! I traded in my 1998 LS400 which I thought was a quiet car. Compared to this one it was like driving with the top down. I read the manual about replacing the seat air filters. My thougths after reading: "Huh?" After finding instructions on how to check the seat air filters on this site I joined. Thanks to those of you who posted the how to.
