Need a New Nose Cover, Not a Novastreach
I currently have a Novastreach but don't like it. Hard to put on and scratches the perfected black paint where it contacts the nose ridge and mirrors. Does anyone still the nylon with the fleece liner covers for the nose and mirrors?

Speed Lingerie may be the other option

The nylon with fleece backing covers WILL jack up your paint - any sort of bra-slip cover will because dirt and other abrasives get behind it and then grind into your paint. Your best option is either a clear "sticker" type bra or ceramic coating. Either way, leaving it uncovered and well waxed is a far better option than any type of bra will be.

It will only be on for short trips. I had one for several years but it eventually stretched out and got holes in it. I would like to have the same type especially for the mirrors because of the scratching to Novastreach introduces when removed. Ceramic will not protect against rocks and other debris. A clear wrap could be an option.
Only use it for road trips and take it off immediately if it starts to rain to avoid picking up road grit when wet.

Just noticed this further down the page. Only problem is it looks like they don't offer a kit for the mirrors just yet. Either way, at this price point, one of these might be in my near future as well.

I have a Speed Lingerie Bra and mirror covers in great condition, in Supersonic Blue that I'll sell. Does not scratch the paint, strong protection, and easy on and off. Let me know.

Just get the car wrapped with PPF. It looks 1000x better than putting some weird looking pantyhose on the front of your car for road trips and is always there to protect the paint.

Many years ago we only offered a non adhesive film mainly for behind the wheels (not for the nose).
But even this film was wind tunnel test in wet/rain conditions to 150 mph. We stopped the machine at 150 because, well if your driving in the rain at 150 mph, rock chips is the least of your problems.
If someone had an issue with the older film it was always attest to poor application (did not follow directions )..
However its a non issue as any of the kits you purchase now for the C6 will be the Plus film.
