Front End Cover (Bra)
I'm really considering buying a front end cover for my sebring silver C5.
I hate calling it a bra
Anyway, I need advice on what you guys think is the best front bra for the money. I've seen ones in kinda stretchy nylon material to match my sebring silver that I like alot but the cost seems kinda extreme.
btw, I have to use the front plate in NY so I need the cutout as well
Any pictures of sebring silver bras and any advice or "clean" thoughts are appreciated.

In my research, I have found 3 different types...(1) the stretchy nylon front cover that IMO is good for keeping the front end clean of bugs, dirt, etc., however will probably not help prevent rock chips, etc., (2) the "GM" front end cover which has now been outsourced to various companies and have been known to have problems of correct fit and (3) Speed Lingerie which is probably the best and most expensive. You can get order the cover in I believe all the GM stock colors as well as black.

You pay more for color matched and I love mine made by colgan in red. Plain black vinyl are your cheapest that I have seen around $99.00 covercraft . I am sure there are vendors here like corvette guys or southern car parts that have choices for you.

I used a GM bra on my last car for over 7 years - paid $85 for it and never had one issue with it. Haven't bought a new one in a while, so if there are fitment issues, that would be a real concern.
