Default NoviStretch Front Bumper and Mirror Masks from RPI Installed - Pics

In preparation for my first Corvette Caravan, I installed the NoviStretch Front Bumper and Mirror Masks. They fit just fine over my ACS Splitter and Wheel Deflectors. Took them on a test drive today and they do what they are supposed to do. Easy maintenance too! Thanks, RPI!

Car looks GREAT!

Now tell us, where can we get the Sting Ray decal for the hood?

And, does the bra actually stop bugs from getting deep into the paint? I will assume, given its thin and open structure, that the bra will do little to protect against stone chips found on the interstates.. Correct?

Not my experience, protects against rocks fine, there are aways a few that might get thru but they would also crack your windshield , IMO...

there are no downsides to this bra that I can ascertain, so far....

Very nice Besides the fact the car looks like it has a gangster bandanna over its face.

It does protect the front end from chips.

It's been working great! Second full day on the road. A couple of pieces of bug guts made it through, but it's been great to not have to clean the Z06 grille every day!

Hope you'll report back after the trip on how well the stretch bra protected the car. I would have concerns about rock chips, but apparently others are saying so far so good on the protection.
