Anyone knows where to get a carbra or bonnet visor for the 380? I can't find any at supercrap or autobarn.

you'll need to go through car bra Australia for the bra - costs around $200-300ish i think

A lot of people & detailers claim that the car bras do more damage than good, they tend to scuff the paint and plastics on the car and headlights. Keeping a safe distance from the cars in front of you on the roads is the best way to prevent small stone chips.
so i've been told.
Bonnet visor, you may have to call Mitsubishi parts
hope you find what you need!

I bought the US version of the factory accessory from a California dealer for around $160 landed from memory. The only thing I had to do was take some of the Galant clips off around the guards and fit a snap clip to the inside of the front wheel wells to attach it to. Also had to add a strip of fabric to the bottom section with a snap on fitting to lock it in place. The front of the lower section catered for the Mitsu type grille but I covered this with mozzie screen which protects best against bugs on the open freeway. The "nose guard" as they call it in the US is a two piece affair so you can open the bonnet to service the engine when it is on. I checked with the car bra guys in Marrickville in Sydney and the cost was over twice the price. This one fits like a glove after the few changes (see pics). After over a year of use I have had absolutely no damage to the paint or panels of my VRX. I have even had it on in the rain and it has not affected the paint coat unlike an earlier one I ran on my Verada with a white fleece liner which the fitting instruction warned against leaving wet on the paint as it would cause the clear coat to mist. This cover has none of those types of issues. Cheers...

I have found that the lower air intake does get a bit buggy on summer country drives so I intend to replace this with a double thickness mozzie cover as well to keep that clean. It will also make the bottom section easier to fit and remove four elastic tension clips from that section. You can see that a small section of painted bumper area pokes through the bottom and the netting will make it a tighter fit and cover the paintwork better. Cheers...

You could try CARDOM from the goop guys, my sisters bf put it on his VZ thunder ute when coming down from Townsville for the christmas break and then driving back, can hardly notice it when on and bugs and crap just peel off with it when done. All depends if you want a perm or temp solution....
