C8 Corvette Z06/ E-Ray NoviStretch™ Front End Mask Cover
The C8 Corvette Z06/E-Ray NoviStretch™ Front End Mask Cover is a stretch-mesh bra that covers the full front fascia 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 clear coat, and the coverage carries across the grille openings and heat exchangers. It mounts on hidden black snap hardware, with no drilling and no permanent changes to the car.
Fitment
- Fits 2020 and newer C8 Corvettes, including the Stingray, Z06, E-Ray, ZR1, ZR1X and 2027 Grand Sport, in any trim
- Works with the ground effects and aero packages, including Z51, 5VM, Z07 and ZTK
- Stretches over dive planes and front splitters. Some owners prefer to let the mask sit on top of the ground effects instead, which works too
- Fits coupes and convertibles
What comes in the box
- The C8 Corvette Z06/E-Ray NoviStretch™ Front End Mask Cover
- Hardware kit with nine snap-head screw studs
- Installation instructions and warranty information
You will need a #15 and a #20 Torx wrench, and a tar and grease remover to clean the bumper and fender wells first. No drilling, no cutting, nothing permanent.
Installation
The first install takes about 15 minutes. You swap nine factory screws for the supplied snap-head studs, four inside each fender liner and one on the bottom of the bumper, then stretch the mask across the front and snap it onto them. The top corners clip into the bump-stop wells inside the frunk. After that one-time setup, the mask goes on and comes off in under a minute.
Full step-by-step instructions are here. Two things worth knowing before you start: the top edge of the mask has to stay clear of the frunk latch so the hood closes fully, and the tension you feel when stretching the mask across the bumper is normal and part of how it holds.
A front license plate can be mounted over the mask. The screw holes will not run the fabric, and thumbscrews make the plate easier to pull off.
Good to know before you order
- Front parking cameras. The mask covers the C8's Forward View Parking cameras while it is installed. Take it off before you rely on that system.
- Low ground clearance. If your car sits at 5" or less because of splitters or ground effects, watch for parking blocks, curbs and steep driveways. 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. They have run the mask on Z06 and ZR1 Corvettes and on other high-horsepower cars built to force as much air into the engine as possible, including long stretches in extreme conditions, without a reported problem.
Because the mesh is perforated rather than solid, it covers the full front end and shields the grilles, radiators and heat exchangers instead of leaving them open to debris.
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.
