Default Bra question

How much of the front hood will a full size bra cover? I need to have it cover up to and including the front emblem.
Thank you

Most bras stop at the bumper/hood joint. Some go further, but why? Most of the bug and roAd debris hits are on the bumper. Going back further will cause more damage than its worth. I have a one-piece bra that I used before the car was painted. Now it sits on the shelf. (If your interested email me)

You can look around a bit on the web maybe. Some of the older, high end styles were two piece with one piece on the bumper and one piece on the hood itself. Bras aren't nearly as popular as they once were so semi-custom ones like what you are referring to are harder to find. E-bay, swap meets, and the parts section of the forum are good starting points. I know they made two piece ones because I had one for a short while on my 85 but that was back in 88.

Take a look at the gallery to see the coverage
of Speed Lingerie's colour-coded C4 bras here
http://www.speedlingerie.com/

They use plastic to reveal lamps and mesh to
cover openings. Colour match is very good for
my '89. When I ordered a few years ago, all
the alternatives to this product were only
available in black.

I dont use one on my C4, I had one on a Blazer, for a while

Lot of work to prevent the bra from scratching the hood. Especially on long trips. all you need is a little debris un it and its like sand paper.

The lower bumper type ones vibrate a lot less, maybe not at all.
