Covercraft Car Bra Front End Mask
For maximum protection you can't beat a car bra ( front end mask ). They cover the bumper area (some truck models do not cover the bumper, to allow for installation of lights, grille guards, etc.) and the leading portion of the hood area. The finished product is worth the effort! We screen the radiator openings because we feel it's important to protect the maximum front area possible. We have done plenty of testing over the years to confirm that the screen does not increase the engine temperature. Some applications, like Firebirds and some Corvette models, have the hood opening so far back that a hood piece isn't required. These unique patterns are noted in our application guide.
"M" Series - Traditional one-piece styling Car Bras
Originally, car bras were designed as one-piece
units, for easy installation and maximum protection. This made them easy to
use at the factory test track. Over the years mask design has evolved into
the two-piece style, but we still have some patterns for older specialty vehicles
that are in the one-piece design.

Covercraft "MD & MH" Series Deflector-Protector
The hood protector with a built-in bug deflector. At the top of the hood curve we've added a reinforced bug deflector to create a swirling wind action that will divert most bugs, dirt and debris away from the windshield. Unlike hard plastic bug deflectors, our Deflector-Protector can be removed in minutes and stored in the trunk or behind the seat in a pickup. There are no holes to drill or hardware to attach, it installs quickly and easily using an envelope design and tightening strap under the hood to hold it securely in place.

Covercraft Front End Masks / Car Bra
Originally started in Germany, where Porsche covered the front of each car as it
came off the production line prior to a shake-down run around their famous test
track, car bras / front end masks have long been considered a necessity for any car owner wanting to
protect the area of the car that takes the most abuse on the road - the front
end, especially the leading edge of the hood and any painted areas around the grille.
Quality features you'll find in every Covercraft Car Bra / Front End Mask:
Protective air intake screens are an integral part of the front end mask, not separate, and they are sewn into the outside of the car bra so there are no loose pieces of material inside to abrade the paint surface.
Covered aluminum tabs allow adjustment at the fender wells as vinyl expands and contracts due to temperature. Take a look at a non-adjustable front end mask being driven down the road and you'll see why this is an important feature.
Reinforced air foils prevent flapping and lift. Very few patterns don't require this feature; there is just too much air whipping around the front of your vehicle as it goes down the road, like cross-winds and back drafts from passing semi trucks.
We use a micro-perforated finish on our vinyl. It allows the mask to "breathe" and permits moisture vapor to evaporate when the vehicle is driven in wet weather. Still, if a car bra front end mask becomes wet and is going to be left sitting in the sun, we recommend it be removed to allow the backing to dry properly.
Our heavy-gauge leather grain vinyl has a soft, protective backing. We use white non-woven fleece so you can easily see when it's time to clean the back-side of the front end mask.
Seams are overlapped and finished with a strong, durable top stitch. Edges of all car bras are covered with soft, non-abrasive felt-rimmed bindings.
Covercraft offers five (5) different styles of car bras & front end masks so you can choose the look and protection level you require.
