Sorry if this has been asked. I had used Speed Lingerie bra's for years. The best. I also had stretch nylon mirror covers on my previous C6. Saved those when I sold car, but they dont fit the C8. Cannot find the stretch nylon covers for the mirrors, and speed lingerie still has not produced the C8 front bra.
For the sake of this post, please dont not reply with using Expel. Just looking for some protection prior to heading to Carlisle

Mr. Wonderful

A lot of the companies producing the covers/bras have been slow to make them available.
In time you will see them, but for now you're out of luck.

How about Xpel (not Expel) Tracwrap? It’s a great temporary solution for a road trip: https://www.xpel.com/shop/paint-prot...-film/tracwrap.

I can vouch for that, nearly 2600 miles getting my baby back home with track tape. Had to do a few re-applies though

Had NovaStrecth Bra's and mirror covers for my C6 and two C7's. Even modified for the 2017 Grand Sport with snap extensions to fit around my Stage 3 Winglets on my Stage 2 Aero Spitter. Sold them with the car a few weeks ago.

Surprised they don't have already for the C8.

I guess you liked the Novistretch if you had it on two models. Has anyone else had good experience with the Novistretch Bra on older models? I was thinking about getting one for the C8 when they become available. Will get the mirror covers too. I will probably only use them on road trips.

I just asked Novistretch about the C8, and they estimate late September.

I feel your pain, bro.... a mattress fell off a truck in front of me, and it looked like that too...

One way to keep the frunk from opening. Tape it shut.

I have a Novistrech on my C7. I love it. But if you are looking for Xpel protection it is not going to do it. It will keep a lot of bugs and most other debris off but any larger stone hits run the chance of dings.

I am OK with a few nicks. My Artic White only has 2 noticeable hits.

I will buy another when I get the C8. It looks like for the cost of xpel I could get a new paint job if really needed. But I believe the Novistrech will protect enough fo me..

Vettetax, which trakwrap kit did you buy or recommend for a similar trip back home for us?

jcp911s

I don't care what you do with your car....ok?.... Just some counter-point here....

First, I have driven my car on the track many times, In 5 years I have a few very minor stone chips and scrapes... nothing that a decent detail couldn't deal with, and anything more serious, Xpel won't protect you anyway.

Now, "bras", and other covers (even close-fitting ones), collect dirt and abrade the paint.... they are like wearing steel wool underwear... they probably cause more harm than good.... plus they look ****.

Its really like buying funeral insurance.... If it makes you happy, then fine... but

I only used it on longer trips as well. When the wife is with me we use her SUV. Recall with my 2014 went to the NHRA National meet in Atlanta and used both the 2 1/2 hour trips to Charlotte to seethe 4 wide Nationals. In that case take all back roads so it stops bugs. Wash it out when I get home. Easy off and on.

Take a little spray bottle of soapy water and you can put the wrap on a lot smoother than what vettetax ended up with.

I had the Novistretch cover on my C7 (actually still have it) but I too wanted more protection than it offered so I bought a Speed Lingerie cover. The Novistretch offered some protection from bugs and perhaps small rocks, but no where near that of the Speed Lingerie. Of course, it didn’t cost anywhere near as much either.

The Xpel Track wrap would be a good, temporary protection for the car.

OldJedi

Thanks for the tip. Do you think detail spray would work as well as the soapy water?

This thread has some info on track wrap as well.
