Default Bra recommendation?

I'm thinking about getting a bra for my 03 C5. I'd just put on for long trips, then take if off immediately to avoid paint damage.

This might be covered in another forum (I'm still new here and not that familiar will all the fori), but what brand do you guys and gals recommend?

C cup or D cup? No mods except Borla, no 'enhancement' surgery has been done.

A few weeks ago i got my speed lingerie bra it is the car color match one but it is not a cheap bra it ran me $549 but their are cheaper ones around.The guys on the forum recommend the GM bra which is much less then mine and they like it alot so it is what ever you like.I believe the GM bra is under $100 dollars i am sure you will get many forum people who will tell you where you can get the best priced one.

You might want to think about a 3M Clearbra. That way, you'll always be protected. It is a clear film that is custom cut to fit the nose of a car and when applied professionally, cannot be noticed unless you are looking for it up close. I recently had it done at a cost of about $400 and am very pleased with the outcome. When I first bought my car, I was very weary of the highway, even for very short trips. This bought me alot of peace of mind without changing the look of my car. You can go further and have a part of the hood, headlight covers and mirrors done as well. The key is to find a reputable installer in your area. Myself,and a couple of co-workers (Viper and a Boxter) have them as well and are very pleased.

Do the rockers and in front & behind of the rear wheels too. That area takes a bad beating.

I concur on the 3M approach. I have it on my Mag Red Vert, and it's almost invisible.

In addition to the nose and the headlight covers, I also had the outside mirrors and the cutouts below the door handles, to prevent scratching.

Found the autorized dealer on the 3M web site.

Default bra's=ball caps

Real men don't wear bra's. They should change the name to ball caps or helmets or anything but bra's, maybe noseguards or deflector sheilds(a.k.a.Startrek)

Got mine from C5creations. In Torch Red too. Very easy on/off. Will not protect from big rocks but perfect for bugs, sand, small stuff for trips.

I bought the one GM sells at your friendly Chevie Dealer.
The price was right and it went on fairly easy.
Part #12495616 it's called a Cover Package. List price $88.00.
It can be bought for less if you know somebody in the business.
I can't see spending a lot for something not used every day.

I've used the GM bra for a few years now on out of town trips and very happy with it. After the first install (set it in the sun for a while) it goes on / of very easy by myself and doesn't take but a few minutes.

The actual name 3M calls it is Scotchgaurd Paint Protection Film. Here's a link to 3M's Website where you can learn about the product and find an authorized applicator in your area:
