Default 2016 Bra's

I am wondering how the Bra's will look on 2016 2LT and 3LT with cutouts for the parking camera's.


I am thinking of the mesh bra's if they cover the grille

I have a 2014 Z51 with a Novistretch bra. They look crappy, I only put mine on for trips. I also have Expel on the front.

The one above does look like it fits the car well.

I think MidAmerica sells one without a grill cover but if you have a splitter installed none of them really work, Even the Novi will get holes poked in it from the splitter over time.

Sure, I believe that I got it from Mid America or West Coast Corvettes. I'll check further when I get the chance. It's a GM product.
Two caveats: It is more trouble to put on and take off than the Novistrech and I do not believe that it will fit over a splitter. But it offers great protection and fits like a glove.

Since it is a GM part, I would start first with Cultrag - a dependable Forum Vendor:

I thought GM stopped making them. I was toying with the idea of getting the Novi-stretch one but I saw on this forum several that just tore apart. I had a GM bra that I used on my C6 which was a PITA to put on but did the job and I had that car for 8 years. Plus I used it mainly for long trips but as you can see, some short ones too. I hope the C7 bra is as good.

BTW... I had a bra on my Porsche... it got dirt underneath it, and would flap at highway speeds, and started scratching the paint... I got rid of it... frankly, a few stone chips are easier to fix.

Really on the fence concerning front end protection. Keep vacillating between a Novistretch, film and just dealing with chips. I'm leaning toward the latter.

I got a Novi, but it will only go on the car for long highway trips, where I can expect lots of truck traffic. I'll take my chances on local roads.
