I am in need of a front end bra for my hhr due to so many miles I put on and the stone chips. There are many different name brands out there, any opinions? Anyone have good experience with fit, look, etc?

 

I have a colgan. Haven't used any other brand so I can't give a qualified opinion of one brand over another. But what I can tell you it does the job. I use mine on road trips and club G2Gs that require me to drive some distance. Advance warning, the lower half of the bra it is very tight fitting and hence difficult to install the first time. Some people advise laying it out in the sun to soften it before installing. I use a trim panel lever to help mount the tabs between the wheel well liner and fender. It safe to leave on for several days if it rains, but I wouldn't leave it on longer than that to prevent possbile moisture damage to the paint.

Here you can see it on my DSM 2LT (3rd from the left)

 

Don't waste your time and money on a traditional bra. They all will eventually scuff the finish. This is a fact.

If you want to protect the finish, buy the "Invisible Bra"

To each their own opinion, Haven't seen scuffing yet. Of course I don't use mine 24 hours/7days week for months at a time like I seem people do. So I don't think it's a waste of time or money.

 

I have the clear bra on mine and it has a life time warrenty. You can't even see it

 

3M Clear bra all the way. Its saved my ass from a truck tire (yeah it dented a bit but the paint didnt chip!)

This is the website for the company I used. I couldn't have kept my paint from chipping without it. In Florida we have "love bugs" that end up all over the front of your car. If you don't wash them off soon enough the acids in them destroy your paint. Had the clear bra put on when I bought my car and the paint is still perfect

 

I have, I think the same one that Grumpee has, got it at the dealer. Its ok, basically a nose guard, and in the two years I have used it, has seen no paint damage. I do remove it and keep a lot of wax on the paint surfaces under it, which I'm sure helps. If we get into a rainy cycle, its easy enough to remove and put back on.
