Bra for the 'Balt ?

I have a 2008 vic. red LS that is my dd. i put approx 600 interstate miles a week on it. my front bumper is being destroyed by bugs and rocks, I hate the looks of them but would it be a good idea to put a bra on it? comments and suggestions greatly appreciated

Keep the front heavily waxed and it won't be as much of an issue. Bras are gay (on cars at least)

Ok. Heres my experience. I bought the gm full front bra. I used the nose bra, and it deflected alot of stone chips. But if you leave it on for more than a week, rocks fall under the bra, and scratch up your hood from underneigth the bra. Very counter productive. So, I am getting a new bumper soon and i have ordered a clear bra (3m) off ebay to help against rock chips. I am hoping it will protect the bumper, cause i know for sure there will be no rocks getting behind it.

So in short, dont get a bra. (Or at least thats my opinion)

Bras on cars are like bras on women, they look better when they are off

Look into getting a clear bra. I have one and it's awesome

Looked on eBay only have off brand clear bra, do you think that dirt would get around the edges and make it look dirty?

I'm amazed that no one had said anything about bra's holding moisture and causing premature rusting. Maybe not much of a problem for people in very dry warm climates. But out here in East Canada its a bitch.
