Default C5 Front Nose Guard (Bra)

New from Southern Car Parts

Do you want to protect the front of your car from rock chips and bug debris? Do you hate the hassle of the standard leather Bra (hard to take on and off, rough on paint)? We have the perfect solution....Our light weight stretch nylon material Bra comes on and off in seconds, protects the front of your car for rock chips and bug debris while having a satin touch on your paint. Snaps off in seconds and can be wadded up and stuffed into something the size of a shoe!!!!! Also can be ordered with protective mirror covers. Perfect solution for highway trips, when the trip is over, take it off and put it in your cargo area. Off or on in less the 2 mins. Best Bra solution on the market for the Corvette.





- Fits better than any other mask on the market
- Stretch nylon knit construction
- Keeps bumper clean and bug-free
- Secures to car with snaps
- Super quick installation
- Machine or hand washable
- Folds compactly for easy in-car storage
- Mirror Covers Also Available

Click here to order....

Man, are they a pain or what? I'm around Picayune and this time of year is horrible for them, keep my bra and mirror gloves on.

No love bugs in KY, but I do like this nose cover! I got it from Southern and am happy with it! I use it locally for interstate runs, to and from work, etc.

Here's mine. Helped save the front during the drive from AZ to FL this summer! Easy install and removal. Six screws in existing holes. That's it!

I think that the black mask takes away the great looking front and would rather put on the clear bra and it basically does the same thing. IMO

Jim,
I have promoted your product a ton of times at the car shows I pull into. I donot show with it, but love it for the trip there and back to keep my front end clean keeping the clean up down. I absolutely love the user friendly installation and maintance of it. It is one of the best products I have ever bought for my car. Great look and fit. Here is mine.

Does this bra require snaps be placed in the center of the bumper down inside the air intake area? Reason I ask I have the front end air dam and this negates the snaps for my current bra.

Not if I'm understanding you correctly. The screws you have to replace with snap head screws are accessed from the fender wells with the wheels turned.

Thanks,
Dave

These bras are great. I got one and it takes 2 minutes to put on. Great for the trips on the highway. Cuts down on the cleaning of the bugs on the front end.

No I sure don't...however you ought to be able to make cutouts wherever you want. The material won't run or split at the seams.
Hope that helps...

Thanks,
Dave

It's currently available in black, blue, silver, and red.
The material is very breathable so you won't have any temperature-related problems, and all the lights will be clearly visible through the mask.

Thanks,
Dave

It's doubtful...whenever we've sold them in lighter colors we get too many complaints that they are too difficult to keep looking clean.

Thanks,
Dave

Default Front License

Any thoughts for making a version where the license plate area is cutout?
