No they are not. At least mine isn't. All of the ones I purchased from Lexus in the past were not breathable either.

Hello, I was able to secure the fender bra. I am a bit lost on how to install the hood bra. Can somebody post a picture of where the hooks are supposed to go? It does not help when it is 40 degrees. I have my heater on in the garage but had to fight getting the hooks in for the fender bra. Appreciate it...

No pics for few day but I connected mine to the holes down near the hinges. Almost straight down from the front of the hood near the bumber to the back of the hood near the windshield. You will see 2 small holes in the range of the hinge but a little bit towars the middle. hope this helps

This is how I ended up strapping it...as you said Goldwinger, the long strap went to the inner hole and the shorter one in the hole near the hinge...looks like by design. Wish the directions were specific for the SC. It looks good.

And I do not use my washer so I opted to cover it.

Nice little upgrade for the SC. Merry Christmas!!

Actually that is not correct. If you look down near the hinge for the hood. On the outside of the hinge you will see a small hook or u in the hinge itself. That is where the long outside strap goes. You have the inner strap correct.

Ok I will try that...thanks. Makes sense and I actually saw that. I noticed that because of the fabric, the hood is lifted and not flush. Hopefully will not create a mis-match when the bra is removed.

It does not. If you leave it on the car for a while the fabric will relax and the hood will go down almost to the original position when it is on. Not quite but close. The hood will return to the normal position once the cover is removed.

It will probably arrive before the New Year! That's what they said too and then I got a message with a FEDEX tracking. Hope you get it before the year starts.
