The Bra
Doesn't anyone manufacture a NICE looking, GREAT fitting bra for the '68-'72 crowd? All the ones I've seen look like you need to iron them or the fit looks altered, together with the holes not lining up correctly. They also seem to show the unsightly straps. The bras for later model C3's and the C4's & C5's look pretty good to me? :confused:

Re: The Bra (SEE3ER)
I have one that looks fair on the car. I put it on once and did not like the way it moved around. I have seen where they can do more damage than good for the paint. Mine has been on the shelf ever since.

Re: The Bra (Gordonm)
The ones made by Wolf look pretty good--but I'd only put them on a car that I didn't care about the paint. I've seen what they can do to paint, and in ain't pretty. I had one on my old '78, but only because I had big paint chips on the nose anyway.

Re: The Bra (JB)
I don't recommend the bra for any car. They are a PITA to use, and it rubs the paint right off. I use StonGard on both my CE and 02 Camaro. It's a permanent teflon UV treated plastic that is permanently mounted to the front of both vehicles. I saw a demo done at my local Corvette club on two C5's and I highly recommend using it.

They're used more to cover up damage than protect anything. Whenever I see one on a car I think, how bad does it look under there. :chevy
