Paul, I picked up the Wolf on eBay just to have something I could use. Then, the SpeedLingerie bra also showed up on eBay. I got it for $225. Not bad, considering they retail for over $600.
My mechanic seemed to think that they might block air flow to the radiator, but both covers have an open mesh. All my temp readings are the same, with or without the bras.
You have quite a stable there. Terrific! |

Leonardo, you are the only one I know that has 2 bra's for the same car! I also believe in the bra's. I have had two and keep them on the car all the time. If the car does not get wet you will be fine. Peter, I would look up the number for Speed Lingerie and see if they have one for your car. |

I have two for my 328; a black Wolf one and a red/black Speedlingerie. They do not damage the paint. I only use them when driving, and never leave them on the car.
In fact, I drive my car more knowing that the front end cover can avert disasters like the one Mike mentioned, not to mention the knicks and pitting caused by debris from road construction, etc. |

I have one for my 77 308. When I go on a long trip I always put it on. Ugly it is, but sure a lot better than chips and it keeps the bugs out of the radiator (for the concours judges).
I had a car kick up a piece of shredded truck tire and if I didn't have the bra on it would have really done some damage.

Ferraris are female as are ships and airplanes! And, I had a Speedlingerie bra for both my TR and 348 Spider. They were the same color as the car and never caused any paint damage whatsoever. On an older car like a 308 you can be assured that the front spoiler has already been repainted at least once. So, if you install Stoneguard the paint will come off with it when you remove it one day. |

IMO I would have stoneguard put on before I put a bra on the front of a FERRARI. I don't think they look good and I have also been told that the bra does paint damage to the edges.

Don't do it, it will just f*ck up your paint worse. Three best options:
1) Have stoneguard applied
2) Have the nose repainted every few years, from door to door ($2k)
3) Wear the stone chips as a "badge of honor" that you are DRIVING your Ferrari. |

I've seen one (once)... but they are definitely NOT popular. |

Only women and Porsches wear bras.
Ferraris are not female.

I have had a bra on most of my cars. I do not believe I have seen one on a 308 (or other FCar's with one). Do they exist and are they popular? If so, I may want to look at one for my 308. |
