Searched, but didn't come up with anything. I'm really starting to pick up some rock chips and would like to get a clear bra/StarShield type product for my '06 Tradewinds 40F. Anyone make them?

We had Diamond Shield put on our 2006 Tradewinds. We are VERY happy. They even came to the house to do the install.
A link to their website is here: http://www.diamond-shield.com/

Thanks Larry,
Just put a call in to find a local dealer. Was quoted a price of $1195 installed at my storage garage. Sound in line with yours?

When National was still in business, I paid for a clear protector that 3M made. The company came to National in Perris and installed it. It works great and you can not tell itn is even on the rig. I don't know the name of the company because I paid National. Two years and 5000 miles later and no chips at all.

Diamond Shield just came out and did the installation. The closest installer was in No. Indiana/8hr round trip. They did a great job, and the final cost was $1195.

I found that they were very good folks to do business with when they did ours. Glad you had a good experience.

We bought our 08 with the clear mask and the little badge they put on the mask says the company aw DigiShield. I am sure it is the same 3M stuff as all the others. It looks great and has performed very well so far.

At the last Rally we were at, Both National and Workhorse told us the if we put Bra on the Coach they would not Honor the warrenty for a damaged engine. Claimed it would change the airflow and engine temps would be high enough to damage the wiring and computer module. Who knows??

I think he said "clear bra". Those are made of clear 3M material and do not cover grills and air openings.
My experience with the other version of bras do more damage to paint than they are worth.

If my memory is correct the Diamond Shield was a $1,000.00 option, $1195.00 seems in line.
