Default Front end cover question

I have a black front end (bra) cover that I put on the car for Interstate driving and back in our neighborhood I can't wait to get it off as I do think it looks awful. ( 24000 miles and no front end chips...touch wood)

Has anyone used the Speed Lingerie front end cover, which I think looks better as you can get a body color match ?

Thanks,

Doug, Happy Thanksgiving .

Have you considered xpel or a film treatment to the front of your car? That would save you the effort and ugliness that come with using a bra.

Yes, I did think about the XPEL and other film products but I am soooo OCD that I don't want to look at the product edges when I wash/polish/wax the car.
95% of the time I have the cover off the car in our neighborhood but need something a few times a year like our winter drive to Florida, about 1500 miles on the Interstate etc.

Happy Thanksgiving.

I've had them on my last 3 vets. I currently have one on my C7 and I have no road rash at all

The way the sun was shining it made it look real light

I have had my Speed Lingerie cover since I bought the car back in March and have used it on two long trips. Easy on and off. Easy clean up. Great quality. I didn't get the camera holes so I appear to be in a hockey net when the front cameras come on.

3M film over 3/4 of my C7 and, after 2.5 years, no chips. It looks great and people almost never know it's there until I tell them.
