Novistretch
I installed my Novistretch bug mask yesterday. It's different for sure. The last one I had was, a LeBra on my 85 Chrysler Laser turbo in 85. I like this better.

Well, it looks functional. I know it will accomplish it's purpose but it really negates the aggressive styling of the 5th gen snout. Kinda looks like your beautiful Camaro is wearing a Covid mask. I remember the old versions could blemish the paint from vibration. Maybe go with a clear bra and frequent washing to combat the insect build-up.

I agree ariZona28. In 85 I was stationed at Dyess AFB when I had my Laser with the LeBra. After a month or so of driving. I went on a mission. I came back from the two week mission and decided to take the LeBra off and wash my car. All that Abilene red dirt got underneath it and OMG. I took it off and never put it back on. My car was black and the dirt left lines where the bra and paint met. I had to get some rubbing compound and buff it out. Where I live the "Love Bugs" are coming out and it took about 30 minutes to get them off. At almost 60 and these 98 degree days here in the Houston area I was pooped. After the love bug season is over, it will come off.

This is definitely worth it. My last one took the brunt of the damage rear ending a truck. Highly recommended on the highway. Take off when you are just rolling through town. You will appreciate how many chips you avoid then. Clear bra does go bad and has to come off and be done again.

I looked up your love bug season. I've never been in that region. I get it. Good idea to protect paint during those times of year. Godda do what you godda do to keep the ride looking good!

Maybe go with a clear bra and frequent washing to combat the insect build-up. I bought one a couple of years ago. And here in Idaho it is definetly a radiator saver in the summer on a long drive. I give two hoots on how it looks on a long drive. Everyday use it is washed and stored in the trunk waiting for the next long drive. Oh and there is not ONE bug in my radiator! LOL! And this Camaro has never been driven in the rain or snow either and lives in a heated garage in the winter.

That's just what I was thinking. I would definitely use that down here for love bug season then take it off once its over. Those little bastards can eat right into the paint if not removed early.
