Bumping this thread up for two reasons. (1) I`m tired of the stone chips I`m accumulating, (2) I wanted to see if anyone has had one on for a while and could give a critique.
Also, I see one on e-bay, by Lebra, two piece. Is this the same one that Chevy dealers have, or are there really two pieces that cover the lights and hood ?
There was no pic avail.

I've had mine installed for over a year:







The initial install can be tricky (*top of inner fenderwell area above wheels), but once it's on I think you'll love it! I caught a nasty rock to the front bumper prior to installing the bra, and it hides that nicely!

Mine is a Colgan Bra - backed with 25-oz flannel that is very gentle to the paint. No damage here in a year's use.

Our 2 piece Bra is the same as the Bra Southern Cal HHR has and our HHR is the same Color.
We have had it on for approx 6 Months with no problem. Our HHR is kept in the Garage when not being used, Removed Bra a couple of times and everything was ok.
We bought our's from Southern Cal HHR when He was selling neat things.

Socal, that`s not a Lebra is it?
I can`t imagine all that for less than $50.00 .
I want to use PayPal, that`s why I was on E-Bay.

Nope, mine is from Colgan Custom.

They run around $120 for the upper & lower set.

Hope it helps,

What`s the chances of getting a close-up shot.
I ordered a set last year, only got the bottom, never ordered the top set, I was so mad...
I still have the bottom set.
So when a stone hits the film, does it just contain the paint chips until you remove the film, and the whole front end just peels up ???
