Default front end bra

So here over Thanksgiving I will be driving from STL back to my home in VA and will be making this trip there and back within a week. Long story short, I want a bra for the car to protect against road rash and im not a fan of using painters tape. I looked online and I see bras for around $100. My question I guess would be, does anyone know if it will fit proper with a gfx lip on? Has anyone tried this with success?

don't think it will fit, the bra is a tight fit on the bottom and the side.

I suggest having a clear bra professionally installed. Front end bras tend to scratch underneath the bra when dirt get under it.

Never happened to me when I had it. It is a tight fit and dirt barely goes under. But putting on and taking off regularly when washing the car was a pain. Hence the reason I switch to clear bra, now it is just laying in the garage somewhere

I had the vinyl bra on my Subie in the past, and it destroyed the paint under it. After that I started to notice just how many cars out there had the same issues. Will never go that route again.
I have the clear bra on the Lex and lovin it.
