Show off your Sedans!
to each their own I guess, but just FYI...those aren't good for Infiniti's soft paint.

Yeah It's daily beater... The roads here in California are crap. I drive over 30,000 miles per year and I don't want the front of my car destroyed. I've had bra's on most of my cars. As long as you take them off every time you wash the car you'll be fine. Never ever had a problem with marks or the paint fading... The clear bra's make the hood look like crap...

I would rather have paint chips than a car bra, but to each his own.
Actually, if I *had* to have front end protection, I'd get the clear-bra film. Fortunately, I don't have much of an issue around here, how I drive on the road, and how little I drive. (Knock on wood)
This thread is slow on the awesome photos. Must be winter.

Winter = heinously dirty car = no pictures
Winter = dark early = no pictures
Winter = car taken apart for mods = no pictures
Case in point, here's my heinously dirty car taken apart for mods
(headlights getting paint, sti-r lenses, CBIs, shroud mod and halos)

The filter exposed isn't a huge deal, especially here in CA. The Takeda rain shield doesn't fit behind the grill on the sedan, so I can't run it. Z1 has a similar design intake, and doesn't even have a rain shield as an option.
The only time you're really in danger of hydrolocking the motor is when the filter gets submerged in water, and sucks that in. Mist won't hurt anything.

If you can find me a thread to that effect, I'd love to see it.
That being said, the rain shield completely blocks off the front of the filter. There are little slots on top & bottom of the shield, so rather than getting air directly, it goes around the shield and into the filter.
It rarely rains in CA. And when it does, I rarely drive my cars in the rain, because I don't want to detail them afterwards. I couldn't MEH hard enough for trying to make it work and restrict my airflow.
