Default Anyone use this Polyester Mini Mask?

As much as I don't like front end mask's, the rock chips are adding up on the front bumper cover I just painted 6 months ago.

This is the best looking front end mask I have seen so, far http://www.ecklers.com/product.asp?p...53&dept_id=174.

I have seen the Speed Lingerie mask but, I don't like how it fits over the hood corners, I also, don't want to use the 3M clear bra because the paint already has a lot of little nicks that'll just show through.

I just want to minimize any further chips and just wanted to see if anyone has used this particular polyester mask. Thanks

I've had one of these for the past two years and use it when I go out on longer trips. Has worked great so far.

Thanks, Jagdapanzer.

How does the mask fasten onto the bumper cover? Can you remove it quickly for washing?

I bought my mini mask from Eckler's which came with the new snap hardware. Once the hardware is installed the mini mask is a snap to put on and take off and it works great on bugs and rock chips and is washable.

The sides attach to SS snaps that replace the four forward wheel well liner screws on each side. Across the front upper edge attaches to three velcrow strips installed inside the hood split. Goes on and comes off in a snap. I wash and dry mine it in good size laundry bag to keep the snaps from banging things up.
