Didn't all the bras get burned in the 60's & 70's....maybe if someone is really worried........they could develop a padded bra.......to protect even more!...............just kidding on this bra stuff! If it looks good flaunt it!!!

I would never put a bra on my front end, this black paint is so touchy.  I get swirls from micro-fiber towels.  I have two new chips from last summer but will still not use a bra, this would cerently ruin the paint. I've used quit a few bra on other vehicles and was never happy with them. That just my 2-cents though.

I used a bra on my trip home from California after I bought the car.  It worked ok, but all my stone chips are beyond the headlights (fenders and hood), so I don't know if it helped or not.  I still get stone chips every couple of times I take the car out (there is a lot of construction going on in the Austin Texas area).  I have at least 6 or 7 chips now.  Does anyone have a good way to fix them?  (touchup paint and Langka?)  I asked this on the body forum.

Anyone have a recommendation as to which bra to use?  Eckler's carries one that they call "Original Factory" and of course there is Covercraft.  It will be going on my white '78.  Thanks!!!

Adam, as you can see above I've had one on my 1976. I just had a new paint job before my trip to last years C3VR Gathering to Tennessee. Every body was concerned about rubbing, damaging the new paint and so on. I put down 3m Clear Coat tape first, all over the car to save rock chips and road debris damage. I made the trip over 9000 miles and not one chip. I have now left some of the Clear Coat Tape down permanently. Like where the gas nozzle rests on the car, under the door handles, were you thumb pushes against the paint, over chrome that is exposed to the tires, the under body in the rear where the rear tire are exposed, and to this date no chips. To answer your question any protection will work if you are smart to protect your vehicles paint first..Good luck..TerryThumbs%20Up

Could someone tell me where you get 3m plastic sheeting, or tape?  I am not familiar with that product.  I have never put the bra on my 82 CE.  I would like to try the 3M product under the bra.  Will the plastic pull off without harming the paint?
