Car restraints, also known as car bras, protect the grille and hood from bug splatter and debris. They can be easily removed and come in various sizes and models. They prevent damage to paint during long road trips and can be secured with hooks or magnets. Custom options are available.

Car restraints are removable covers used to protect the grille and hood of the vehicle. Sometimes referred to as a hood, this cover is made in several different models with material that won’t scratch your paint job, but effectively blocks bug splatter and dings that sometimes result from small debris found along the way. Because car restraints can be removed at will, they do not interfere with accessing the engine or washing the car from time to time.

There are examples of the car bra that are produced for almost any type of vehicle. In addition to the car bra, there are also truck bras. A truck clip serves the same purpose to protect the truck’s grille and hood, and can also be easily removed when needed. Due to the wide range of popular vehicle designs, the car and truck bra is available in several different sizes.

In addition to providing protection for the grill and hood, a car bra is also useful for preventing damage to your paint job during a long road trip. While there are limited advantages to wearing a car bra when driving around town, the real benefit comes into play when using a highway system for long-distance driving. Minimizes the chances of airborne insects fouling the hood surface and possibly creating small scratches in the paint. The fastener is also thick enough to limit the damage that can be caused by loose gravel kicked up by tires or small amounts of various materials that fall from another vehicle and can scratch the paint.

The process of putting on a car bra is relatively easy. Many models provide simple hooks that allow the clip to be secured along the grille and bumper, as well as under the front fenders. Some models of the clip are also made with magnetized material that adheres to the metal of the hood and grille, making the car clip less likely to move or slip out of place during a road trip. All models can be removed for cleaning or replaced as needed without great effort.

While mass-produced car fasteners will fit almost any type of car or truck, it’s also possible to order a custom one. A custom bra is more specifically tailored to the contours of the vehicle, and may also include color schemes and designs not available with mass-produced versions. Auto supply stores often carry several models of auto fasteners, and often have contact information for vendors who offer custom products.
