Does a stretch Bra on front make it run hotter? 2016 C7

I ran one on my drive home from Bowling Green to California. It was winter, but did not notice any issues with it running hot from my perspective. I don't think it gave a ton of protection either, got a couple nicks above the headlights as that area is not covered. And there is some risk of surface scratches from bras moving around, but honestly I felt that one didn't move much because of the fact air can go through it. We were just too lazy and didn't have time to put track wrap or tape on the front of the car, so we took our chances. It's now getting Xpel put on and they are taking care of any damage that was done as part of that process.

I ran the Novistretch from Richmond, VA to Carlisle, PA in late August with no problems.

Do they still even make those? Thought they quit them due to dirt getting under them and scratching? curious is all - I haven't seen one on ANY car around here in ALONG time.
