StretchBra or Colgan? Pros and Cons?

I want something removeable to keep the bugs and butterflys here in south texas from coming through the grill and getting all over everything when I go on long trips. I dont mind washing them off the car, but my last trip (not in the camaro) everything behind the grill was plastered with bugs so I will need somthing more than a clear bra.

If you have either one of these products I would like to know your thoughts good or bad. thanks for any input

Colgan car bra I used it this past week for our road trip to Valdosta for Camaro5 Fest no issues at all.

How does this protect behind the grill?

Not sure this will stop bugs from coming thru the grill openings

You dont want it to stop the bugs from coming through. Yes it would be great for keeping it clean but your radiator has to breath. That is how your car is cooled. If you close the front your car weill overheat.
