Does anyone have (or know where to find) any videos that show the installation of the Novistretch bra?
Also, it sorta freaks me out having anything rub against the paint/clear coat. People say that this bra does not vibrate or slip around at speed which would certainly mark the clear coat. especially id grit and grime get between the bra and the finish.
If I get one I would not use it year-round. I live in Florida and twice a year we have an invasion of "Love bugs" and they are very caustic to automobile paint. I don't really mind washing my car every day during those seasons, but was considering an added precaution.
Any first hand experiences where there was damage from the bra? Thanks.

There is quite a bit more to installing a C7 mask versus what it took for my C6 but it is worth it IMO. It really saves the chore of cleaning bugs off your Corvette. You won't find any better customer satisfaction than what you'll will get from Andrew at NoviStretch.

This past Friday a friend took me to the house of the guy that developed and manufactures Novistretch products.
I was unfamiliar with the product and he has a mask on his own C7 and my friend has one for his C6.
He explained his product and answered all my questions.
I've never been a fan of bras, but I would not hesitate to put a Novistretch mask on my C7 if I was taking a road trip.

Novistretch best of both worlds with out the hassle of the traditional vinyl bra install. Besides they stand behind their product until you are 110% satisfied and unfortunately that is rare these days in a vendor. Got the mirror covers as well...every bit as effective...no rubbing !!

Once your bra is covered with all those lovely bugs how do you go about cleaning them off once you return home?

Hose it down, rinse in bucket of soap water to soak, rinse, machine wash.
But so far, simple rinses in the sink and a machine wash does it for mine.

The installation video makes it look very easy to install. Definitely on my list of goodies to buy for my car.

The good news is the Novistretch fits pretty tight so even if the bra does catch some sand and other abrasives, odds are it shouldn't rug against the paint very much, but for added protection you can also have XPEL Ultimate or some other clear bra material applied.

Novistretch does a great job of keeping small debris out of the radiator and without a doubt is the best bug catcher bra I've ever seen, but unfortunately it can also catch other things such as grains of sand and such. I found this out the first time I used the Novistetch bra. Got home and washed it out in my utility sink. Lot's of bug debris but also some sand.

I agree, and I do, although I don't drive in areas where sand is prevalent. The miracle fabric is great for catching fine debris, just like the same fine debris that ends up in most auto carpets.
