Full front end bra

Making a long story short. an asphalt truck entered the freeway in front of me and take a guess. So $3k from the company for new paint on my new hhr.

I already had the sports bra i kept from my first HHR which basically covers the hood. I'm going to get the other one that covers the whole front end.

Is it a fairly simple install?

Thx

Look at the Colgan bras if you want quality.

10 Min. Easy install, have mine on for long trips and gravel roads. Protection well worth the money. I always apply a coat of paste wax(no polishing) before the install. Hope this helps.

Just curious....How do you deal with the paste wax that hasn't been polished when you remove the bra ?? Say 45 days later.

I just polish it out when I remove the bra, no biggie.

Yep, keep lots of wax under the bra, and take it off when it rains. I use a full front end cover, including over the windshield, when I tow the HHR behind our motorhome, but always wax the entire area it covers before I put it on. The rest of the time, I have only the hood bra on, which does help, but certainly is not complete protection.

Fill the holes and fix it yourself, keep the money, and beat the **** out your principle balance with it.
