I think it looks sexy.
  • The pictures at Novistretch don't look the same as in person
  • However, my paint is dark and the Novistretch accents the look
The nylon fabric doesn't damage anything and I'm very fussy; however, I have PPF on the front end.

The damage Novistretch avoids is worth the hassle of keeping the fabric clean, bumper and radiator clean.
  • To clean the Novistretch, just drop it in the washing machine or hand wash and hang dry
My temperatures are Not affected by the fabric's filter affect.

I've used Novistretch for 3 years, and no signs of the product wear.
  • I will purchase another one for backup
To avoid damaging the fabric over the hood latch, pull on the fabric a little when closing the hood.

Note: The real damage to paint that I continue to find is the plastic trim that rub against the metal parts.

For example, The:
  • Door Panel in many places around the perimeter
  • Trunk Lid banging on the top of the bumper
  • Trunk drain channels on both left and right sides
To solve all of these issues I use PPF under the plastic trim pieces

Coincidentally, I am fabricating a radiator filter.
  • I picked up some screen fabric from a Hardware Store, and two plastic corrugated poster boards from Michaels Craft Store
  • I will be cutting the posters to leave an "X" frame and then sandwich the screen between the posters
  • Hold the two posters together with two zip ties and plastic washers for each pinch point
  • Cut one zip tie tall off to be the "nut" and use the other zip tie as the "bolt"
