Default 1980 Corvette nose cover
I just bought a 1980 Corvette. I am wanting to buy a nose cover/bra. Any recommendations on what to buy and from who? Thank you.

Corvettes are like women. They look better without bras.

I wouldn't put a bra on it. I've seen many cars that have had them. Most times the paint is screwed up under the bra. Why? Bad bra, poor installation? Usually an owner puts one on and never removes it. Dust, grit and moisture get under it and wreck the paint.
