For hvrod

How did you get the back windows tinted so close to the car color? I'd like something like that on mine, I think.

Those are really cool Mike. For anyone viewing these, be sure you have your volume at a moderate level. Had mine turned way up and the first one scared the life outta me when it started.

Thanks for the heads up Deb! Even at moderate level, it still gave me quite a jolt.

We saw 3 HHR's that day yours, and a black one and... I forget. Any way see you on the road and thanks for the lead on the bra.
Well got the bra and drove it to Iowa and back. There is one issue with it the, top clip by the head light doesn't clip on at all, on either side. how are you resolving that problem? I have used some elastic bands hooks and small strips of velcro on the top of head lights. other than that over 3500 miles of tumble weed and bugs were successfully deflected from my paint.

I'm still thinking bra, but my wife is afraid it will get nasty underneath, fade, whatever. I really need something to protect the front. The chips are getting really bad and under that red there is white (primer??) that shows. And that passenger door that got caved in over Easter? Has a ding in it from my father-in-law. He's a bit careless in his old age.

My catches about 1/3 of the way, but is still pretty tight. I plan to just un stich that part and use HD velcro.

Firewatcher...

I only put mine on when going on a trip. When I get home I wash it and take it off the car. I like the peace of mind it gives me while on the road.

I just bought the hood bra from Colgan Custom and it works great, I'm still thinking about getting the lower bra before heading south for the winter.
