I don't know bud... I did a little surfing and didn't see anything that looks exactly like ours..
You might try an ad in the C5 Parts for sale section and see if someone has one... a lot of people got them back in the day and they just stay with the car... that's how we inherited ours It was stuffed in a trunk cubby...
Well, here is what I think the issue boils down to.
A previous owner removed the air dam left and right pieces from the car. I did not even know the air dam end pieces existed, until I was installing the bra and started researching my fitment issue.
Installing the Novistretch without the air dam end pieces results in the fit as depicted and i will just have to live with it. The stretched bra takes the path of least resistance between the wheel well and the center snaps, and takes a diagonal shortcut, causing the droop around the headlight area. I am assuming if the air dam was there it could not take the short cut and the fit would be better.
Kudos to Andy for his concern and efforts in trying to resolve the fitment issue.
Should have stuck with this thread. Ordered one at Carlisle from a "large" vendor and mine fits the same way. I am not missing any air dam pieces under the car. I seldom drive mine at dark, so if I happen to I will have to make sure my bra is off the headlights. It just looks funny too. Again function over form I guess....
How does yours attach under the hood? The first one I had, someone gave me and it used three hooks. After it looked old I ordered a new one and it used Velcro and caused me problems around the headlights like I see above. So I liked the hooks better and installed 3 hooks...this allows the bra to drop just below the headlights as seen in the picture. This works great for me....
Is it fitted as high as it can go in the front wheel well, I've even got a front Air dam and am still able to get it up higher.
I would think it would be easy to fit it a little higher
they are pretty durable so you can stretch it in areas more than you may think.

Per the NS instructions you replace the (3) 7mm screws in the front of each wheel well with the screws they supply. That's what I did and the three button snaps match up.
@jdvann - How did you rig up the hooks? Any more pics? I like your set-up as it doesn't interfere with the headlamps.

This pic is of the original bra I had that is several years old now. It turns out the hooks are just plastic coated wire clamps. On my new bra I added the hooks,l ground down the rivets some, and coated them with a liquid rubberized coating to help prevent scratching. Then at the 3 contact points under the hood I placed a strip of CF looking tape to give it a protective coating on the paint.
