Default 1978 Pace Car Bra

Does any one have any suggestions on where to get a bra for a 78 pace Car? I'm not intrested in the clear they sound pretty ify on the paint.
I just want the old regular Bra type.
Because the Pace Car has the front spoiler I'm not having any luck!

And for those of you who helped out with the location of the Decals for the Pace car thanks again we got them on and the car looks great!

Default Go on and put one on...

1. They're super ugly
2. It will chew up your paint
3. Did I say they were ugly

Don't forget to mention they look horrible in most people's opinions and they trash the paint.

A bra might keep a few bugs and stone chips off her nose, but moisture trapped under that bra can affect the paint. If you purchase one, make sure it's made of some type of breathable material to let moisture escape.

Not only that, the straps and clasps vibrate in the wind, literally burning your paint away underneath. I have seen it many times.
