Front Cover ("Bra") Recommend?
I have a LeBra front cover for my Grand Prix GXP, being traded on a 2LT. Have Camaro owners found a front cover than rocks? I've had bad covers that sratched hood, wheel wells, etc. The LeBra I used on my Grand Prix did pretty good job. I read about a transparent front cover to let the color of the Camaro through, that was a first for me.
Interested in what you "bra" owners use? |

I have the Ventureshield clear bra installed on the whole front bumper, half way up the hood and front fenders, on the gills, and the mirrors. Kinda pricey, but it is worth it because the paint on these Camaros chips really easy! Couple things that do "suck" are it attracts particles, so when the car is dirty you can really tell where the bra is, but when it is clean you can only tell if you are looking for it for the most part. Also, I have matte black racing stripes, so the installer had to cut around the stripes by hand otherwise half of my stripes would have been shiny...so there is a little imperfection there which isn't as bad now as in the picture. That pic was taken the day of install and over a few days, I worked at the edges. I've had my car in a couple of car shows and most people don't even notice it until I point it out to them. I have more pics posted on my profile at: http://www.camaro5.com/forums/album.php?albumid=5279

No current pics but I have ventureshield on the entire front (mirrors forward). Thats full hood, fenders, bumper, gill area, and behind the tires. Cost me $1100 here in nc. Been hit with two tires on the intertstate as well as a 3 foot section of exhuast pipe. Still looks good besides for two small tears that I had my installer cut out. Would have destroyed my paint if I didnt have it.

What's this thing I'm starting to read about "poor" Camaro paint or similar? I ordered a black which is a "tough" paint. Is there a "flaw" in Camaro paint we're not aware of... or perceived?
