Front bra

Has anyone found a company that makes a black front bra that also covers the front bumper? Have found some for hood and grill, but would like bumper also. Tried one of the clear vinyl kits and ended up pulling off and threw away.

I have one on my HHR, Bought it from Southern Cal HHR and it fits great & looks good.
Go into Southern Cal HHR advertisement ( Vendors ) to get information and cost.

Need report...

Can anyone whose had one on for awhile give a report...?
The Beautiful one is getting a lot of chips, and I want to get a bra, but the Mean one (Mrs. B/B ), is set against it.
I had one on a veh. a couple years ago, rubbed the paint and faded at a different rate, and this is SORTA Her Hot Rod...

I too am concerned about fading which is why the full bra (from socal hhr's) only goes on for road trips. The upper bra(hood) I use more often since it's easier to put on (I'm a lazy sob).. so far no noticeable fade or wear after 2 months...but I also wax the car on a regular basis, dust off the car before putting the car cover on and the moment I see rain or water I take the upper bra off, and don't put it back on until the car is washed.

Yeah, that was me a couple years ago, washing ,waxing, removing at any hint of rain, but after a COUPLE years, two tone paint.
Mrs. B/B, who was 1/2 owner, has sorta kinda said that that`s not happening to her ride...

Sindy's bra report

Still doing it's job very well. No issues of major concern.
Upon first instulation, it's a very tight fit. A few times on and off and it has stretched enough that on/offs are very easy. No broken clips, no rips tears in the screen and no frayed sticthing. Easy to clean/wash. Still looks cool and functionable.

Sindy, I see you have a white grill, is there a mesh in the bra ?
Is it rubbing the grill ?
How did you get paint to stick on the chrome coated grill ?

Yes, there is mesh in the opening for the grill.

The contact of the mesh with the paint isent enough to be causing any wear marks.

I had someone do the Bowtie removal and paint job. It had to be ground off, built back up, remolded/reformed the bars that were modified for this look. I don't know how it was done exactly but the guy that did it said that is not a job he would want to do again.
