Had the front end clip painted last week and I would like to protect the fresh paint when driving. When the paint cures I plan on appling the 3M clear plastic sheild. In the meen time I was thinking about a nylon stretch bra. Any suggestions on where to buy one or an alternative idea would be great.

 

I have the nylon bra and it is great. fits in the palm of your hand for stowage. I got it from a vendor here but don't remember which one, sorry

 

i used to have your forum name on my GSXR NEVRL8

 

I got mine at Corvette Central.

Is it seamless or underwire 18 hour????

 

I bought mine from Southern Car Parts, forum supporter!

 

I got mine from Corvette Central. They are great for road trips and fit well.

 

I got mine from C5Creations.

 

I too have seen them advertised at C5Creations. The NCM also sells them.

One note - be sure to discuss the use of the 3M Clear bra on a repainted car. They do not guarantee that the paint will not lift if you have to remove it for any reason.

 

A bra will provide better protection for a lot less and a lot less risk to the paint. Plus you can remove it in a few sec's.

Especially since it has been repainted.

I think its about $80 for the GM bra - black only, I don't think the nylon stretch is going to give you much protection except from bugs. Speed Lingerie is about $400. I think - color coded.

 

Just got mine this week with the mirror covers.

 

Great product.

 

Most modern base coat/clear coat paints are catalyzed, so they're "cured" when the the car leaves the paint booth.
Maybe your painter suggested a period of time to wait though. The nylon bras are great for protection from bugs and compact for storing, but they won't protect that well from stones, road debris and "alligators" (tire carcasses).

 

The reason the front clip was painted. Road Gator. I was headed down to the Corvette Museum for the C5/C6 Bash 2 Wednesdays ago (April 23rd). A fellow Corvette Club of Michigan member in his 2007 Black Z06 was following me. Then out of the darkness on I-65 90 miles north of the Museum comes flying a 5 foot long GATOR, headed straight for my 1999 C5 front end. The truck in front of me at the time either kicked it up of lost its recap. Wham, with out a chance to react it took out my front bumper, right fender, and cracked the hood, then the gator gets thrown under the car and my rear tire hits it and launches in the air again, and yes straight at the Z06 following me. It proceeds to take out the front spoiler, fog lamp, and scuffed the front bumper to where it need to be repainted. After a police report we were able to continue on. About 5 minutes down the road the air was forced though the cracks in the fender and the fender started disintegrating and the shrapnel was headed right at the Z06. Good thing the Z06 driver had auto cross experience and he was able to avoid the flying pieces of fiberglass. He then ended up taking overall 1st place at the Museums C5/C6 bash auto cross later that weekend. And a special thanks to 3B automotive for a flawless repair in 5 days. I ended up home in one piece last Wednesday. By the way I had the car repainted at 3B in January so the paint matches perfect. See you at the Cruise In may 22nd. Sorry, I don't know how to attach picture but if you where at the Bash you will know me from the large Band-Aid applied to the fender.

 

Me too, just last week very quick to ship
I got the mirror guards too. I tried them on but have not had a chance to give them a workout yet.

BTW, I also have the 3m bra.

 

You won't get any better service anywhere. Jim Vouse is great to work with. It is the c5 Creations bra.

I run a GM bra on road trips to protect against those 70 + mile an hour bugs and rock chips. I use the Southern Car Parts bra around town because I like the looks.
