Default Front Bra

Can anyone recommend a front Bra/Mask that doesn't interfere with the front cameras or mess up my paint? 2026 SR 2LT.

I've used Nova Stretch on my C7 and both my C8s. Easy to install and no indication of paint marring. It blocks the camera, but it's still transparent enough to see a little thru it, curbs, etc.

My bodyman told me years ago to never use a bra after I rubbed some of my paint off on a long trip. He told me no matter how tight the bra is, the car continually flexes and even soft cloth can wear on paint. I also noted with today's urethane paint you get very few nicks if any. The new paints are very flexible and forgiving.

I use a novistretch and have cut holes in it where the cameras are located. I put a reinforcing ring on the fabric before I cut the circle out. did this on my 2016 as well.

Yes, years ago the heavy vinyl masks could be detrimental to paint but as paints have improved, so have the masks [bras]. I have used Novistretch on my C7 and both of my C8s and have never had a problem.
If that is the way you decide to go, they are listed on the other forum and have a discount code.
