I've got one. Very easy to install the mounting screws, as they go in existing locations. Putting on and taking off the actual "mask" is simple too as it stretches easily. I've only had mine installed for a year and have only used it a couple of times, so I can't speak for the how well it will hold up over time. I just keep it in the back hatch cubby hole and use it as needed.

I ran one on my car for a while prior to spending the extra money on a Speed Lingerie front cover. Yes, the Novistretch is easy on/easy off and there is no problem using it in any weather. Plus you can just toss it in the washer to get it clean. It works well in helping to keep bug splatters off the front of your car, but does not stand up to larger rocks or other heavier debris that may be tossed up towards the front of your car. The larger items can put holes in the fabric.

Overall, a good product for the bug splatters and small road debris coverage.

I have had mine for 6 years. I only use it on long trips. Good for keeping bugs and leaves out of the intercooler and off of the bumper. Not much protection from rocks or other hard debris. If you have a GS or Z06 the corners of the front fender spats can eventually poke holes in the lower corners. I like the easy on/off. Not something I would leave on full time as grains of sand can migrate through and possibly chafe the paint.

I bought a Novistretch bra for my 2016 Corvette shortly after buying the car in 2016. I used it quite a bit, even at speeds up to 148 mph at the NCM Motorsports Park. It finally lost some of the elastic properties last year. I replaced it with a new one. It kept the front of my Stingray clean and protected. I have no complaints about it. Easy on / off and good protection.

I ran em on a Mustang, up and down, east and west across the country on my first really big road trip... Rain water mixed with mud and road grime makes em look really bad when they dry out.

I have both the GM model and the Novistretch. After buying the GM model I didn’t like that it left the radiator opening unprotected. I purchased the Novistretch and I am very happy with it. I cut a bath towel and put it between the bra and nose, it seemed to protect the paint very well. I drove my 2019 from Ky to Santa Monica no issues. I saw this towel deal on this forum.
