Besides rubbing on the paint, if you leave it on all the time and it's in the sun alot you will get diff. fading on some colors. They make a clear tape and also a clear spray that can be removed easy. I've seen guys with C5's at the track that use it on the lower quarter panels behind the rear wheels so they don't get rubber on the paint from burn outs.

I've got one never used if anybody wants it.I'll take $30.00 plus a small shipping charge.I don't know much about them or if thy even come in colors but mine black as I suppose all are.Bra come unused with all mounting hardware.My idea was to use it for long trips but I can't seem to talk the wife into a long trip with the Vette(sits too low for the highway).

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..Terry

Oh Terry,........I wouldn't be telling everyone on here that you wear a bra! .....What does Elba think about that? greypoupon692007-03-23 19:40:09
