How about a Colgan Bra? Mine works great and keeps the front nice and clean.

Hey all, just an FYI on the bra issue. I had one for my car a few years ago and loved it. However, I made the mistake of leaving it on the car for a good while. After leaving it on for a while and not removing it, I was very upset to find that underneath it there was some small debris that got trapped and ruined my paint job. In addition, because of some fading, the paint no longer matched the rest of the car.

With that said, I love the look of the bra on that SS. Looks sharp. Just make sure you don't make my mistake and leave it on too long. I have never bought one since but I am considering it after seeing one on the HHR.

I have had the carbon fiber one for almost 2 years. Because of the mild weather in Georgia I am selective on when I use it. I keep it on during the summer when the bugs are bad and during long trips the rest of the year. I do my best to keep the bra off over half the year to keep the paint the same.

Over all I think it is a great investment. Its keeps rocks, bugs, and some careless person from messing up your paint.

If you didn't live all the way in Ohio I could restore that paint for you. Just find a reputable detailer, not a "leave my car with you while you wash it" place, but an actual detailer.

Lil Cheney, I think your best bet is to give them a call on the pricing and availability.
