This $94 bra is also a solid one http://www.shop.jwmotoring.com/produ...&categoryId=14

 

I use a stretch bra when I use one.

 

You knew this was coming...

 

I agree, we have them on special for $99 right now

For the money, you can't hardly beat the GM bra - about $80 and it works great. I've run one on all 3 of my C5s and never had any paint damage, great protection and easy install/take off when needed.

 

What type of protection are you expecting? Is this for single trip use or full time use?

I've had a SPEED LINGERIE on my car (full time) since June '06 when I got it. Its triple layer design has prevented rock and alligator damage direct hits on multiple occasions. It's available in colors. Mirror covers are also available. It attaches with a unique male/female tongue in groove mounting, insuring it won't flap at speed which could cause abrasion damage to the paint. It is more expensive than the GM bra. You can find good deals on used SPEED LINGERIE in the classifieds.

The GM bra is only available in black. If you don't mind the black only color, the GM bra is a good choice. It's inexpensive. It fastens with snaps at the fender edges. It is a two layer design. You can also found one in the classifieds.

COLGAN also makes a bra and mirror covers. I think they may be available in limited colors.

The thin polyester knit stretch bra is good for bugs but not much else. But it's inexpensive and serves that purpose. It folds up small enough to store easily in your trunk.

Another option is the 3M clear film product. It will cost almost as much as a SPEED LINGERIE bra. If damaged, it will need to be replaced. Some clear film products may yellow. Some installers razor cut the film on top of your paint. I believe Pre-cut kits are available if that's a concern. The advantage is it's almost invisible if done correctly. It's only as good as the installers experience. I cannot attest to how well it protects from flying debris.

The other option is to not use anything at all and plan to repaint the bumper fascia damage every few years. Some people even have a spare bumper fascia already painted and ready for R&R.

 

Do any of these NOT use Velcro under the hood? I really hate sticking crap to painted surfaces...

 

The GM bra does not, don't know about the others.

 

I'm not aware of any that use VELCRO.

As I mentioned above, the SPEED LINGERIE uses a tongue in groove mounting system. Two thick ABS male end attachments on the leading edge of each fender, three female end attachments along the top trailing edge of the bumper fascia under the hood and two bungee attachments for the hood bumpers. The lower edge of the bra is lined with heavy duty elastic to keep it snug.

I don't run with one all the time but this is my fav when I need one.

 

Can I have this one.LOL

 

If you are going to use it a lot, leaving it on the car for time, then I too suggest the SpeedLingerie color-match bra. They are $$$ but worth it in that they are of the very highest quality of fit and materials. Even my AE paint is closely matched by their material.

 

Clear bra

 

Do any of these work if you have an ACI chin spoiler or one of the new CF spoilers (Vortex or C5R)?

 

SL makes one for the ACI.
