C5 Corvette NoviStretch™ Front End Mask Cover

The C5 Corvette NoviStretch™ Front End Mask Cover is a stretch-mesh bra that covers the front of your car and takes the rock chips, bugs and road tar that would otherwise hit your paint. The fabric is perforated, so air and water pass through rather than collecting against the paint. It mounts on hidden black snap hardware, with no drilling and no permanent changes to the car.

Fitment

• Fits 1997 to 2004 C5 Corvettes, including the base car, the hardtop and the Z06
• Fits coupes and convertibles

What comes in the box

• The C5 Corvette NoviStretch™ Front End Mask Cover
• Hardware kit
• Installation instructions and warranty information

Installation

The mask secures with snap fasteners built into the design. You replace a set of existing screws around the front of the car with the snap-head studs supplied in the box, then stretch the mask across the front and snap it on. That one-time setup is the only part that takes any real time. After it is done, the mask goes on and comes off in a couple of minutes, with no cutting, drilling or permanent change to the car.

Good to know before you order

• Ground clearance. The C5 sits low. Watch for parking blocks, curbs and steep driveway entrances, since contact with those can tear the mask.
• Track use. The mask was built for street and highway driving. Owners have run it at track events with good results, though the debris and speeds out there wear it faster, and NoviStretch does not guarantee how it performs on track.

Airflow and operating temperatures

The mask does reduce airflow somewhat, and you may see a small rise in temperatures, more so in heavy rain. Working with manufacturers, dealers and thousands of owners, NoviStretch has found those temperatures stay inside the acceptable range and never climb to the point of overheating. Because the mesh is perforated rather than solid, it shields the grille and radiator from debris instead of sealing them off.

Care

Rinse the mask with water to clear dirt and debris, squeeze it out and let it air dry. Hand wash only when it needs it, using a concentrated soap solution on the dirty areas. No bleach, no fabric softener, no clothes dryer. Make sure the paint under the mask is clean and free of sand and grit before you install it, and take the mask off before a pressure washer or an automatic car wash.
