I have a clear bra, and the line bothers me some but chips would bother me more. I also use the stretch bra offered by many forum vendors when going on long trips involving alot of highway time.I feel this covers my front end as much as possible. The sides are covered by the Apsis splash guards that I picked up in Carlisle for well under normal retail.

All of the above - snaps at leading edge of wheel well, tabs for in between headlights and body, clips for lip in front and under hood, clips for under front lip below grill and side of front valance - it fits very well.

Sounds like an improper installation.

I ended up buying a GM bra from a forum member that contacted me after seeing this post. He gave me a less than half price deal of what a new one cost. I am glad to be a part of this forum.

What I like about the stretch bra is it is super easy to put on and take off, you can put it in the washing machine and it stores in a tiny bag and takes up very little space in the car. This allows me to travel with the bra on, remove and store it when I get where I'm going without a lot of fuss or loss of space, an important consideration, especially when traveling.

In the end, it looks sleek, lower price, easy to install and remove, takes up very little space and can be machine washed after your trip.....now all you have to do is go buy one
bought mine from the NCM when I got the car, they even installed the snaps for me so I just had to put it on. I basically bought it for the trip home but like it so much I've used it a fair amount. I'm still not a huge fan of the bra look but definitely like the protection and recommend it

This is what I have been using and it works great, I've put 9,000 miles in the car and the front looks as good as the day I got it.

Congrats on that deal! So how do you like it? I am trying to decide which one to use as well on my C5.

Gotta color matched (silver on silver) stretch bra and use it for longer trips or when I know there could be sand, etc. Easy on/off...washes in the washer...perfect for me.
