Covercraft full front masks
scroll down until you see Full Mask part number MM42017 for $81. Great price and the bra is a great fit.
Really easy to use. I know of a few people on here that own them and love them.
I could swear I just posted this info a couple weeks ago, but couldn't find it when I did a search.

A bra is only needed if you are trying to hide body damage or bad paint.
Otherwise it is a terrible and very tacky way to trash the good looks and lines of our car. 'nuff said.

It was not broke; Yet I fixed it anyway.

Also sand gets trapped behind and scratches the hell out of the paint. It needs to be removed if it becomes wet because of the trapped moisture underneath. Too much hassle to be used correctly. Maybe good for long cross country trips. Oh and they are ugly.

I have a Covercaraft bra for my SVT . I use it on long trips & stuff like that to keep the majority of stones & bugs off the front of the car . With the full felt backing (top and bottom) , it's a pretty darn nice bra & has yet to do any damage to my car whatsoever . Being that it's on a black car , you can't really see it , which to some people is a real sticky point . If you put it on a clean car and R&R it when you wash , you'll be OK as far as car damage goes .
I believe Colgan Custom also makes a bra for the SVT , but I can't comment on their quality without actually seeing/owning one . The Covercraft , however , gets my thumbs-up .

To all, thanks for the input. I have to agree with Y2KMondeoSVT, a bra protects your car. I had a LaBra on my Mustang for over 2-years, it never damaged the paint or anything else - in fact it protected it against road debris. A bra is like anything else you put on your car, if you care for it and properly install it, it will look good and last for years. LaBra as most of you know does not make an SVT Contour bra, so it is nice to know Covercraft gets two thumbs up from another CEG member. Baxter Auto was able to order a Covercraft bra for me, I should have it within the week.
PS: Paint is not a cheap thing these days, and when your car is lowered and acts as a road collector, you need to protect your cars paint. That's why they make bra's - to protect it. It can easily be removed for cruise ins and meets.

a bra is not supposed to look pretty. That's why you take the bra off after the trip  Rock chips aren't pretty either.

Saw that film on a 996 yesterday, could only tell it was on within ~5 feet of the car. Very nice.

In retrospect, it was all downhill from here. RIP, CEG.
