Front End Protection, Bugs, ect
« on: March 29, 2011, 11:44:20 PM »
Bug season has almost arrived, wondering what others do if anything to keep the bugs out of the radiator area and grille. I don't mind cleaning my windshield and painted parts.... the front end bra's don't look too good, any other options?

i stuff a piece of black fiberglass screen round the radiator & condenser. easy to remove & clean. soft enough not to scratch.

I talked to CoverCraft at SEMA last year and found they do not make a bra for a 68 Mustang.  Their rep was surprised at the lack of that product.  If a bra is made I would be interested in knowing the brand - the bugs do make a mess of things along with all of the other objects flying through the air when driving on the Interstate.

I've had two bras for my 68 coupe, used the first one so much it wore out.  I bought them from NPD.
