I had a nose bra on my 79TA for years and it saved the nose paint. I took it off every time for washing the car, about 2 weeks. This extended the life of the car paint many years, about 62 k miles.

Hi Rick,
This is not the stick-on stuff. This the high end paint-on clear guard material. We did the front of my car all the way up to the first hood opening line. We did this same paint-on guard on the custom one-off a.k.a "Lister COOX" car I designed and built for my long time friend; Ken did the paint and clear guard on this one too. Amazingly enough the car has been on the road for just under three years now and there not one chip on it; stuff is really good. Its actually pretty easy material to fix too if you had to. Definitely the way to go, especially for road-warriors, track dogs, and autocrossers like you

Here is a photo of the front of the Lister COOX car we did, painted it half way up the nose. Buffs out okay too and there is a line but its worth it.
