Good nose bra??
The wife is finally starting to pay more attention to her car now that I have her trained in the proper washing and waxing process 
Unfortunately she's noticing the chips on the nose of her car.. It blew her mind.. So I had her look at the other cars in teh driveway, and in 20+ years of driving she had no clue how much nose damage was done to a car..
So now I need to find her a nice bra.. Or get her to drive it less.. I think the bra is the safer answer.. Anyone have a recommendation for a great fitting one??

If you do some reading I'm sure you'll find quite a few Forums members recommending the factory GM bra. I know three people in my Corvette club who went that route and are very happy. The price is reasonable as well. I got mine from Fichtner Chevorlet when they had them on special. It was around $80 if I remember correctly. It's a 2-piece unit and nicely made.

I'd recommend the GM bra. Great fit, low price and mine has held up very well for 3 1/2 years. Once you get all the snaps installed, it only takes about a minute to put on or take off.

I have the 3M Invisible Film Bra installed on my Vette (2 years). Once installed, no worries about taking it off, it's clear, won't yellow, etc. Wax it, wash it just like the rest of the car and the best thing that this stuff can take some serious beating.
3M site has more info www.3m.com/paintprotectionfilm or Block A Chip, place that did my install.

Hadabra, took an 800 mile road trip that started with a rainstorm. When I arrived the crap behind the bra had managed to rub a number of bald spots on my bumper. Sounds like "Clear Bra" or similar product might provide hope.
