Wow. Very stunning shots. As always, your car just growls hat me in every picture I see it in. Truly a work of art. I do like the bra also. No bugs on the cruise. Its always nice to pull a bra off in the evening also.. Nice work James

I understand the purpose of a bra as I'm sure most people do.

I take my car through backroads a lot and it gets pummeled with bugs. I wash them off, and do it again the next weekend.

You have a beautiful car but the bra just takes away from it.

James, you don't have to explain why you want to protect your paint to these nimrods.... Car looks great, you know it does. Don't sweat it.

The bra obviously works well, I have seen some of your pictures on FB. I am going to the Corvette bash in Bowling Green from Seattle and am looking for something that will keep my front end looking good. Sounds like you would recommend a similar style. I want something easy to take off at night, compact, and easy to clean. Thought's?

The dam thing will shrink down into a case about the size of what you would carry your sun glass in ...
The thing is amazing what you cannot see is that it will fit over my chin splitter as well ...3 snaps on both sides inside the wheel well ..
Remove and throw into the washing machine ... It says not to use fabric softer
Neil is running these now for $99.00 I paid 139.0

Hey James... I just got my stretch bra in and worked on fitting it this evening... had a quick question for ya.

How you have yours set up to attach at the top??

I'm trying to decide if I want to punch the top line of the bra with the provided female snaps ago that route.
