This is something new as the page is still under construction. Also note If you get something like this for front end protection you would also want some type of screen or protection for the radiator in the front of the nose that is right out in front of the car to protect from pebbles rocks, / debris from getting a direct hit.

Anybody know how to protect the radiator at the front of the car inside the nose where it is exposed to pebbles, rocks, and debris?

I'm going naked and will live with inevitable chips. After 10 years or so, I'll get it repainted if necessary or better yet, buy a C7. To truly protect the car, you'd need to cover it and leave it in your garage. What fun is that? If you go with a clear bra, then the nose won't match with the dings on the doors and rear quarters. Maybe after a few marks and dings, I can then truly enjoy using the car the way it was made to be enjoyed. Personally, I don't like the unavoidable line on the edge of the clear bra. I'd rather have a few chips on the nose. No I'm not a hockey player.

I've been luckier without the bra. After almost 6 yrs I have only a few almost unseen nips from road debris. I have a bra, but actually it caused it's own damage from flopping in the wind at >100mph, and from grit getting under it. I haven't used it in 3 years.

I envy your clear conscience with this as not to worry over this or let it get to you but one of these clear bra places just quoted me $1,100 Now I have had good luck with the regular bra on my current car and I'm on my 3rd bra and it protects the radiator/condensor with a mesh screen which doesn't interfere with cooling or intake of cold air. But of course it is not a Corvette but I have washed the car with the bras on and this has gone on for over 10 years and guess what? No problems no discolorations.

Hello. If you go to autoclearguard.com he can give everyong a great price on a Xpel Clear bra. 50% off if you just want to order the pieces.
I got mine installed for $600.00 with headlights. I'm trying to get him some business, since he gave me such a great deal.

Here are all the places you can get covered.

They just finished using my Precision Red Coupe(of course) for their patterns....wait til you see the pictures! We were all blown away by the color match.

They also used my car for the Mirror..."mini-bras")

The patterns, as far as I know are 99% finished.
We did some low speed tests, up to 80mph and the bra performed as expected.

I am one pleased "puppy" and would recommend them...super great people and they showed the care that I would want from ALL my Corvette suppliers!

WOW, He gave you a great deal.

Funny because HE is YOU. YOU are the owner of auto clear guard...

If you want to be a vendor pony up $$$$
Your story is probably a good way to let people how you do business... I for one never do business with places that operate like yours!!!!!!!!!!!

I would say good luck, it is a great product, but I will pass...
