Please let us know if any chafing occurs. They look way better than any others I have seen if mine ever goes beyond 1100 status,I too would be interested in this. Black coupe so would offset look much.

Chafing does not occur, one of the moderators here just went hundreds of miles with his and no chafing. Mine has 300 easily with no chafing - one more time: this is not a new type product, the mesh bras have been on prev gens and has no real downside...they just flat work....

Awesome thank you for the response.

Nice to hear all the good reports. I think with darker color Vettes' the bra will be less noticeable. Really the main thing is that it will keep the damage down on the front of our cars while we are on a road trip.

Exactly, these are for long trips, not every day, when I'm making a run from ft Lauderdale to Ohio, I could give a damn what the guy thinks of the look at the gas stop in Nashville....lol

I did as well. Just called, already shipped in time for the trip to NHRA meet in Charlotte!

Used it returning home from Carlisle where I got it and it did great. No bugs or rock chips. The bra has a lot of crap on it. Didn't have any airflow to the radiator problems.

Thank you! Happy modding, my friend!

Have used it now for over 900 miles...no chaffing, no rock chips, easy clean up after use.

Received my Novistretch Bra yesterday, installed today. Thanks RPI Designs, great service!
It is an easy install however I added some washers and spacers not in the instructions. Also the last two install steps are hard to see in the pics they provide. This is a 7 page picture install with details of the mods I made: http://netwelding.com/Nylon_Bra.pdf

I talked with the owner of the company today and he knows the directions need improvements. He's open to ideas and such so feel free to contact him at novistretch.com.

JerryU

Thanks. I will contact them. Tough to include the pics needed on paper with teh product but they could reference a PDF on their website for those that want more info.

an install vid with good clear lighting would solve it all...the interior tabs are the only part of the install people don't get immediately......

Install video was recorded at the NCM event and will be posted on their website soon.

Almost 2000 miles and no rash or abrasions of any sort. The pics below are after the return trip of about 900 miles. The bra and car were clean when I started. Very little to clean off after the trip where the bra was. No new rock chips either. Very pleased!

So how do you clean those messy bug infested netting? Why is this netting better then a vinyl bra, which will definitely protect from rock chips? Thanks

Glen e

You can clean it every night in a sink
It stores in your glove box
It keeps everything out of the radiator- A VINYL BRA DOES NOT, neither does XPEL
It mounts easily with snaps, not jammed between panels
It protects a splitter, unlike a vinyl bra

This is so much better of a solution that a big thick GM vinyl bra

JerryU

As the instructions note, you can wash with water and some soap in badly stained areas if needed. Being Nylon it dries quickly. Unlike vinyl, which is much heavier and can cause chafing, it also covers the grill, preventing bugs getting to the condeser and radiator. Found on long trips with my C6 had no effect on cooling and I never experienced chafing. For the short time I have had it on the C7, on 95 degree days the temp was the same as without it.
It is also very easy to install. It is made from hevier Nylon than what I used on my C6. However it still rolls up and easily fits in a plastic food storage bag and in the rear hatch small covered storage area with my jack pads, wheel lock key etc.

What they said...

I washed it in the sink with just water. Easy cleaning. I think having an expel or 3M protection would be ideal, then use this to keep the bugs off. But I didn't wind up with one single rock chip in almost 2000 highway miles where this bra covered the front. Had a couple on my windshield though.

I really like the concept of the stretch mask. My front end is already covered in Xpel but i need something to keep the bugs out of the grill. Does anyone know if there is a "mini" stretch mask for just the grill?
