Who has a bra on their C3 ? Does anyone make one that just fits the front part of the hood. The nose on my car is in pretty good shape but the front 4-6 inches of the hood is in need of TLC. I want to repaint the whole car in the future but a bra to cover up that part of the hood would be so much easier/ quicker for right now.
Thanks for the help.

I would rather wear one than put one on my car. I have never seen one that looked good IMHO. On a black car I guess it would be OK, but I don't like them.

A front end mask can actually do more damage to the paint.

I would like to get a mini-mask for those longer trips. Something that's pretty easy to remove.

I bought a LaBra for my 82 but rarely use it. I put a good coat of wax on before I put the bra on and don't wipe it off. It fits well but after 70 it still flaps a little. The thought is good, but not real practical. I used to ride motorcycles so I know how much debris the front of your car is subjected to. Every road trip takes a toll on the paint. Just drive it and don't worry about it.

Thanks for the replies. I couldn't find one to do what i wanted anyway so it will be going BRA-LESS !! |eek|

I have been into classic cars for several years now and have been to all but one body shop here in town and a couple from neighboring towns and can not get a qaulity paint job . So I have finally got everything i need to do the job myself( except for the materials like primer, paint etc ). So it looks like I will make my first attempt at painting by painting the hood on my C3 ! Hey if I screw it up I will just try again and again and again if I have too !
