A good Car Bra for my C5

I do a lot of highway driving and my last vette got really chipped. I'm not crazy about the look , I just want it for road trips.

Does anyone have any experience with them? What about LeBra/Wolf?
Let me know the good with the bad.

Thanks
Joe

I have the GM bra and it works very well. Good fit, does not flap, and cost was only about $80. Had mine for 3.5 years and no problems.

For the money, I think the GM bra is probably the best deal. It fits well and looks good.

Speed Lingerie makes a great bra, too.

I have a 3M clear bra. I absolutely, hands down, love it. I've had it a over a year, it's durable. It's turns a wee bit yellow, like most clear plastics, so white colors beware. Other than that, it's been a nose saver. About $300-500 depending on how many pieces in the kit. I did complete front end, backs of mirrors, rear of rocker panels. Had left over material, so did the door cups and front of rocker panels. Hope this helps.

I have a Speed Lingerie and love it. Upside: Color match is excellent. Fit is superb, no flapping or movement whatsoever. Downside: Very hard for one person to install (unless you are the big strong type). Kind of expensive if not used daily.
