1LE Protective Bra for Road Course

I've looked at options like the stretch bra and the various clear bra but I'm thinking the best thing to do when taking my car out to places like Willow Spring would be to throw on a traditional bra.

Interested if anyone has any has experience with any and recommend a good front end bra for the 1LE?

Thanks

Go naked. Stone chips are the equivalent of vehicular scars. And chicks dig scars.

My 1LE has a ton of "scars". I've tracked it probably 30 times. I'm on my 3rd set of stock tires and just got some track tires. My bowtie even has cracks.

Have fun!

There's just no way to prevent a mark from appearing on your car if you track it. With some good bug and tar remover (for the rubber marks) and touch up paint you can keep it looking pretty good for a while.

You think a piece of vinyl flapping and rubbing on your paint at triple digit speeds will keep it looking nice?

Here are some pics of my scars. They look a little painful, but the car have given me so much joy. It is such a fun car to drive on the track (road course).

It does need a wash and like a very attractive woman that's been working in the yard, she cleans up very nicely.

Bowtie


Hood wrap


Driver side wheel well

HOLY COW!, but then again car is meant to be driven so I understand everybody's opinion. Personally I like to have some protection so I just had my front bumper covered with XPEL clear bra, really nice product. A little pricey but worth it!
