Crap really hammdo? The mirrors too? Yeah I have no intentions of ever using it again. I drove back to Maryland (700 miles) without it and only suffered one little nick that would have missed the mask anyway. I also sent them an email. Lets see what they have to say? Since there is more than one of us with the same issue it at least makes me feel as though i didn't do anything wrong? I mean the instructions were very easy to understand and the installation was very easy? Lets see what happens

I really hate hearing that th is happened to so many people. Someone in my club had the same thing happen to him although he hasn't posted here. I am glad however that I am not alone.

I also sent them an email. I am hoping that if enough people contact them, they will be put under pressure to make things right.

ATT Hammdo and Imdyinhere .

I have not responded yet But I got a reply from (ANDREW) from Novistretch. He is going to send me a full refund for 150$ and another 150$ to have the car detailed and buffed out. He also asked me a bunch of questions. In the e-mail he said they did extensive testing in all kinds of conditions ( including rain) and that should not cause these issues.

If there is anyone else out there that has experienced these issues I would contact Andrew at Novistretch right away. He is definitely doing the right thing by addressing these issues right away as well as being very concerned about our experiences.

Those of you who have seen my upsidedown pictures. Are you rub marks/ scratches in the exact same area as mine? Just curious if they(scratches/rub marks) are consistent? I will email Andrew back tomorrow. He also would of course want to mask returned so he can analyze it to see what happened. He is also curious when I purchased it and from where to see if there may have been a bad batch produced. Hope this helps all of you guys

I had the mirror covers and mask on for the drive down. 4 hrs of rain and I do not see any scratches on my car. I will take a better look tomorrow.

Thanks for the heads up...

Yeah I had mine detailed before I left too. Andrew did mention in his email that two others from C5fest emailed him about the same issue. So he will most likely be contacting both of you guys too

For those follwing along with the Novistretch Mask issue...

I also received an email from Andrew with the same offer of reconciliation. I replied back and am awaiting his response. Nice to see such a quick follow up. Stay tuned.

Beyond the Corvette plant/museum (both awesome), we couldn't find much to do in Bowling Green beyond shopping malls.

This was the first long range CamaroVan for me since it was in our backyard last year in Baytown, Texas. The total miles for me was 2,009 but the drive was awesome, lots of beautiful scenery of what we could see... lol The rain the second day was horrible, we had some white knuckling driving to say the least and the truckers were not very kind to us. It was awesome to meet up with some of the other Clubs, we picked up some folks from Dallas in Texarkana, and then we were able to team up with Bluff City Camaro Club out of Memphis. So that was a blast!! "Oh you have a Camaro? I think we are best friends!!"

The event was awesome, there was a lot to do! Unfortunately, for me, as I'm sure it is with other dual racers, (Drag Racing & CamaroCross) there is just so much to do in so little time. Wish this could be a 3 day event! lol

CamaroCross was amazing as always, thanks to Pete and his crew for running such an awesome event!

Drag Racing was a blast, even though I got my butt spanked by all the amazing and awesome V8's, but I was just tickled to death to be even on the same track with them! Only negative I could say about the Drag Racing, is that it was very hard to hear, and there was no definite schedule that I was aware of, but I still had a blast! Thanks to Robert and Merc, and all the others who assisted with this!

The Plant Tour was top notch! Thanks Mike Lee for setting this up for us! It gave me a better appreciation to what goes into these cars. Just wished I would of been able to make the National Corvette Museum Tour. And I hope one year we can see how our cars are made! hint, hint... lol

The Parking Lot Parties were fun, it was amazing to see all the different Camaro's, and to meeting new folks!

Thanks to Rodger's Chevrolet for the Welcome Party and food!

The venue was perfect. The drive to the track was beautiful, everything was close I thought. It was awesome everywhere you drove you saw Camaro's, so that was neat! Even at the Car Wash at 6:30 am!

Thanks to Tag and his wife for making our AMAZING shirts and stickers, and supplying us with all the Camaro Fest Goodies!!

Thank you very much to the Chevrolet Team for bringing out the 6th Gen Camaro!!! Its was so bad azz in person! And that Hyper Blue!!! WHOA!! I was able to see Al speak for a few min before I had to race again, but unfortunately I missed him that night. I was able to meet Mike Judge! And he signed my car!! So that was definitely a high light!! ;D

Thank you to Phastek for all the AWESOME pictures as well!!!

And last I need to give a shout out and a very big thank you to a very nice Camaro IBM owner, Eric I think his name is from Pennsylvania, stopped to help me on the side of the road. My oil cap was missing, and he helped me out. His license was Just Drivin I believe. This to me is the meaning of having a Camaro, everyone is willing to help each other, and you just cant beat the camaraderie amongst us!

I can't wait to see where next year's location is!!! Thanks again to everyone who put this on!!
