Just a silly question...but you were worried about BIG rocks hitting your car - that's why you didn't like the Novi-Stretch - but don't you think those (7) big holes all over the front will let big rocks damage those (7) exposed areas?
The Novi-Stretch might not be as thick - but at least nothing is exposed...

Just a FYI- The license plate area is actually a clear vinyl (I have a clear plastic cover under that too) and both the brake vents and the fog light areas expose very little painted surface--that goes for the sidelights as well. I've had mine on for over three years and the nose is completely free of any damage.

Glad I could help. FYI-the first install will have you uttering a few choice words due to the tight fitment(which gets better over time-I've had mine for over three years). If you are in a warm climate leave it in the sun for a couple of hours prior to install or set it in front of a heater or something of the sort. It will go on much easier. One other thing I do is a good cleaning of the nose along with a couple of coats of a GOOD wax and the slight streaks it leaves on the side will buff right off. Also, I use Chadwicks tire shine on mine about once a month and nothing (I'm looking at you bugs & bird crap
) will stick to it.

I have a Colgan for my Pontiac. You do have to adjust or bend the tabs to get them tight. The y come out of the box flat and you bend them to make the bra tight or retighten.
if a bra is Lise it will damage the paint flapping.
To get the original response may not come since it was so old.
