Review: Covercraft Full Nose Mask

HTP AutoWorks

False. Paint protection film will stop a half inch stone at 140mph. Its been tested over and over. Besides... and I am just being honest here, that is one of the worst looking bras I have seen. It doesnt fit smoothly, is very bulky, and just looks horrible with that color. At least with clear bras you can cover any area of the car and the headlights.

Zkindofguy... I had a piece of tire, roughly half of it, flip up and hit my bumper, headlight, hood, and then over the windshield at 80mph and therre wasnt one single scuff on the paint. There were some black marks on the film but they buffed right out. So I am not sure what your "those times" are but it seems to hold up better than you lead on. In fact I would be willing to say that its youre remarks about clear bras not holding up that lead to people becoming "brainless sheep". if you want to stick with 80s technology and cover up the lines of your car, go ahead. But do not put out false information about paint protection film not holding up. If that were true all of these Ferrari, Porsche, Lambo... owners would not be getting them. They would be driving around like you with a big piece of leather covering up their beautifu cars.

I don't care what the tests shows...I can test prove that an elephant can hang from a flower by his tail on a cliff. I had a clear bra on my previous car. And it didn't do jack for two different incidents. Every car (3 in number) I have put a leather mask on and have driven each of those cars near 100,000 miles the fronts remained as pristine as the day I bought it. I have no problem using a leather mask on the 370Z now as a leather mask has certainly proven to me it can in all cases protect the the car.

I agree with you about the bra in the picture being terrible looking. That is why I suggested going with the Nissan bra as it is formed fitted and absolutlely skin tight.

I'm not putting false information about anything. And its funny you should mention the "tire" incident you had. That is exactly what one of the incidents I was refering to when I had a clear bra on my Shelby GT and it didn't do sh*t. The foot long piece of tire "gator" flew off the back of a semi and slammed the front passenger portion of my front fascia. It actually pierced the clear-bra leaving a ragged edge in the clear-bra material and made it to the actual bumper plastic leaving a tread mark outline and indentation that to the day I sold the car never came out.

Now on my 370Z I had the same thing happen but I had the leather "80's technology" bra on. It slammed the car even harder than the other incident with the Stang as this "gator" was larger and rocked the 370Z when it hit it. I immediately pulled over to the side of the road expecting to find all kinds of damage....and there was absolutely nothing at all. Even the "80's technology" leather still remained intact. It just had a flat-black scuff across the leather at the strike point which came off very easily using some leather cleaner and conditioner.

So spare me your knee-jerk "sales job" when I can show that "80's technology" works any day of the week because it NEVER fails and isn't a pure CRAP SHOOT like when using "modern-day clear-bra technology".

And BTW...just because a clear-bra makes its way onto some exotic brand of vehicle has absolutely nothing to do with how well the clear bra will actually protect the car. So HTP AutoWorks, do you want a shot at the "proven technologies" title?

HTP AutoWorks

Well I am not sure what you mean by "taking a shot at the title" but I will put a clear bra up against a leather one any day of the week. For one I wont get laughed at for having something that ugly on a beautiful car. Two the clear bra will protect not only the front but also the rocker panels, lights, A pillars... pretty much every square inch of the car if you want it where your leather bra will only protect part of the front. 1 headlight along will cost more than the installation of a clear bra. Three with a clear bra you do not have to worry about the bra vibrating at high speeds... once dirt gets underneath it is will be abrasive on the paint. And everyone knows how soft paint is on todays vehicles. And lastly I will not ever have to worry about taking it off and putting it back on. Its on 24/7 translating to more vehicle protection all of the time... not just when you have it on. So if we want to make this a test then sure... I guess with a mouth like your you surely have something in mind... or are you just all hot air???

Hey I said what I had to say and I provided the examples to prove my point. And there are alot of other people of the same opinion as well. Just read through the posts after you tried your infomercial bit. It seems to me you are the one that has to do the convincing, not me.

I have had clearbra on my Z since the beginning of April, right after I bought the car. I drive the interstate daily to work. My front end looks like new. Rocks and debris at highway speeds have not damaged or torn the clearbra. My 350 looked like sh!t, as if someone had shot the nose with a shotgun. My 370 looks showroom new. From a performance standpoint in resiliancy to rocks, it is an excellent product. It also has zero peeling and no yellowing.... looks as good as the day it was installed. You guys can debate looks and conventional bras all day long, but the clearbra is a winner from a protection and asthetics standpoint on my car.

Proof to this "test."
As I have seen a clear bra on a car and then drove next to it from Houston to Austin, guess what, it had rock chips under the clear bra from road debris, rocks, etc. A good leather front mask will protect better on highways (city to city driving), inter-city driving I have no tests on as I could careless at this point.
