Clear Bra or Novi Stretch Bra or Nothing at all?
Hi All- would appreciate all feedback.
Looking for installer for clear vinyl bra on a new c7 and please take note I have the twin factory racing stripes that one would think will make the install more difficult and a need for a top notch Company or installer. I have been vacillating if this is the way to go 'expensive" or using the Novi stretch bra that many enthusiast recommend and claim it dose offer a fair amount of chip protection and the bonus is it keeps front clean of bugs and leaves, out of radiator and grill and condenser?! It is also very easy to put on or remove and is very easy to install.
Thanks

Clear bra for me. I have it on my 13 GS and on my 15 challenger. Omega Werks in Pleasanton did my GS and Premier films in Fremont did my Challenge. Expect to pay around $700 for just the front bumper. Both companies did a great job.

I just received the Novi stretch bra. Haven't installed yet. Read good review on forum. I will only use on road trips.
I also looked into the plastic protection. A place in Pleasanton quoted $495 for the front bumper on the phone.
Went to LA over weekend with other car. Bugs,bugs, bugs. Thought about taking Vette but the Novi stretch hadn't arrived yet. Glad Vette stayed home!
Don't forget the mirrors....Enjoy your ride !

The stripes do not make the install any more difficult so no worries there. A clear bra is the way to go. You will want to protect the front (leading edge of the hood/fenders, bumper, lights, mirrors) as well as the lower doors and the full rocker panels. The stretch bra will not cover all of those area.

Clear and Stretch
I use both on my GS.
For normal driving and short runs, I just use the clear bra. When we go on long runs/events, the stretch bra goes over the clear bra. The stretch bra installs in about 5 mins. Can be taken off in the evening and cleaned up in the shower and dry by morning.
I just got tired of cleaning bugs on my clear bra on long runs/events.
