Mask or not to mask...

Post by hjwii »

So, one day, I will have that new Vibe (5 months, 2 weeks, 4 days since I initially tried to buy one), and when I do get it, I need to know whether or not I should get a mask for the front end.Now, I drive about 200 miles a day thru SE Louisiana. Which means, I drive thru the swamps, and I'm constantly being hit with swarms of bugs and mosquitos and alligators and other creatures as well as a few not so paved state roads. I would like to keep the front of the car in as good of shape as possible. Therefore, is the mask the best thing, or should I try to apply coats of wax to the nose of the car?Sadly, apparently no one in the New Orleans area applies that 3M stone guard, which seems like it would be the best solution.Sooooooooo... should I get the front end mask? Thanks for your genius and insight on this matter...hjwii

I have one.....I swear by them if you keep it clean underneath. I keep the hood mask in all the time, and the full front end if i take a road trip.

Anything that will save your paint. Do it! Our paint isn't really all that. It's decent. So, I would recommend getting the bra. Inder Singh
