Hi all, hopefully going to be the owner of a lovely looking black C6 from tomorrow (previously been a Camaro guy for last 5 years - Gen 5 and Gen 6) and I'm thinking of using a car bra to protect from stones. I'm also going to be looking at ceramic coating. Whats your view on car bras, and if positive, any recommendations? Many thanks

Why buy a stunning looking car and hide its face in a nose bag !! ? They look hideous IMO . Ceramic coating will help but stone chips are inevitable unless you hide the car away like a trailer queen and never use it . That`s life unfortunately . Just enjoy you new car and allow others see a stunning Corvette in all its glory .

Have you considered PPF? Had mine replaced after 12yrs. Did a lot of research before replacing and very happy with the end product. Protects and almost invisible, also has an element of self healing which paint doesn't! (2010 C6).

Great suggestion, Eddy. I had ppf on the entire front of my Camaro for 8 years. Could only see one minor stone chip when I sold it after 35,000 miles. If you do decide to fit ppf, find a company that uses pre-cut stencils and not a company where a sheet of ppf is laid on the car and cut to fit.

I forget about that stuff . I had purpose made shaped ppf panels designed especially for the flaired rear wheel aches on wide bodied Marcos`s ( or is it Marcii ? :LOL: ) that are very prone to stone chips .Looked discreet and did the job throughout 10 years of ownership .
