I am planning on taking my Challenger to Texas in August. ( I brought my nephew up for summer vacation, got to take him back to Texas, kid lives in a broken home, crappy mother, took him to Disney World). Anyone know if there is a Bra yet or a universal one that may work. I am not putting it on on permanetly, just for the trip do to severe bugs and road debris. But I have been on road for 3weeks, (get home this Tuesday) and it is killing me that I have a new Challenger sitting in my garage back home. No way the next trip,is it going to sit there...

Went the route with the bra and you really have to wax the heck out of the area and be very careful if you run into rain on your trip. I wound up going to the 3-M product for our Prowler, really protects and can't hardly see it. Even the Arizona sun doesn't bother it. There is a company called I believe Invisible Mask that has it all pre-cut----I'm sure they will have for the new Challenger. I plan to put it on our R/T when we get it. If you for some reason you what to remove it you can take it off with a hair dryer. I like the the product so well that I bought a couple rolls of it and made templates for our 71 Challenger and put it on the rear quarters and rocker panels---no paint chips!
Don't know of a traditional one (Black vinyl) but i would look into the clear film ones by 3M, they custom cut & fit it to your car, all the high dollar boys around here use them on their Ferrari's.
Don't do the old style clip on bra, you will ruin your car. Get someone to cover the front with clear 3M tape. It's almost invisible and protects really well. I've got a guy here in AZ to do mine.

I remember seeing somewhere that they make a spray on one that can be washed off at a later time. I just don't remember what company it was. It may have been 3M.
I am in the process of getting a kit designed for the Challenger. The film is called ClearMask and it is a 3M film. It should be ready by this week and I am looking forward to doing the install. Not only for work reasons but I am thinking of trading in my 07 SRT8 Grand Cherokee for one. I will keep you guys posted on when the kit is finished. The other option is to have one custom wrapped.
I saw the 3m on a new dodge truck when the dealership tried to get me to put one on, but I don't like the look..Up close you can see it, far away you can't.. I will recondsider.. Thanx..

Yes you can see the end line up close. But you have to remember it is a replacement for the old leather bras... which you could see a mile away. If you want paint protection and want to keep the car looking new its really the best way to go.
I have the kit ready and will install one next week on my way to Texas. I will post some photos for everyone.
