These bras were very popular a while back amongst Porsche owners, but I don't see too many people using them these days. There are some clear plastic products that are applied to the front surfaces to protect the paint, and they seem to be gaining wider use in the Porsche communitiy.
The Porsche front end bras were mostly made by Colgan or Wolf, so one of them may have a pattern for the GMC. I'd think that the plastic may work better, but till mine gets painted, I'm not too worried about the old paint. Once you spend the money on a new paint job, you do feel a whole lot different!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was advised to do that in the 80's when I used them. Maybe that was before today's better paints or clear coats.

My understand is they were for temporary protection in Germany during the final road test--- not ever meant ot be left on. Legend is that one was left on in shipping across the pond and it became the fad it was here. Gone the way of the boom boom bass, the coffee can duck fart exhaust, and curb feelers. Does as much chaffing as it does rock protection, but then it hides it, so you break even.
