Anyone have one on you vette? Any issue's with using one?

I have a couple of paint nicks on my front end and am considering installing one.

Did a search on bra's and masks and did not find much.

They suck except for covering up nicks and chips. They will put wear marks on your paint due to dust, dirt and moisture. I never liked the look either, but thats just me

I have some of the unavoidable chips on the front end of the car as well, but they aren't really noticable unless you're really looking for them. Unfortunately, as the owner I know exactly where they are and think everyone else sees them as well, which probably is not the case. The only reason I'd put one on the vette would be to stop more chips from happening on a roadtrip.

Don,t do it ..We drove our Zr1,s to the corvette museum from Texas and one of our guys put a bra on his car and when we looked underneath the cover on the first gas stop he about sh*t his pants looking at the scuff marks and paint wear from just 160 miles of highway driving . Needless to say the bra came off later as he tried to tighten it up but that didn,t help.

The best product out there is the 3M clear protection it can also be taken off . If your going on a trip many use clear saran wrap and some 3m tape...

My bumpers were sh-- so I thought I would stick a bra on well three later (sent them all back just did not fit good ,looked like crap& Loose).ended up with new bumpers. Get some touch up paint for your year car works great, shake it up alot.
