Just a clarification on the cooling issue I had with the bra. It was ONLY a problem when I had the bra stretched over the bottom lip of the ACI spoiler.

With the ACI, air is funneled to the radiator from the inlet above the lip of the spoiler. Even though the bra lets air through, it blocked most of the flow to the radiator. With the inlet of the ACI spoiler exposed it has no effect at all on cooling.

How porous is the material, does air pass through easily? I have a Vararam and that definitly covers the air intake!

Air flows thru it just fine. It is a great fitting bra.

See my post above. Air does flow through the material BUT at nowhere near the velocity of not having the bra on.

How it would affect the Vararam, I don't know. I do know the bra will significantly reduce airflow to it.

We have one and love it. Also have the mirror covers. A breeze to put on and take off. We do throw it in the washer from time to time and it holds up like a dream.

I've been looking for one in mag red. C5 Creations is currently looking for a new fabric distributor for the mag red color.

Anybody know a vendor that has a mag red in stock?

Southerncarparts did confirm it is the same and they would price match.

Only limitations seem to be color selection. As mentioned earlier...cant find mag red at this time.

Thanks,

Jim

I purchased Eckler's last C5 Creation's Mag Red bra a couple of weeks ago (during their 10% off promotion). I then called C5 Creations and purchased the mirror covers. (They do have mirror covers still in stock). They were even nice enough to make sure the lot number from the covers matched my bra. They also said they haven't made the Mag Red bra in a long time and was surprised there were still some out there. Hopefully they will find a new supplier for Mag Red.........

I had a friend embroider the C5 logo on the front of mine. It is unique, and makes a huge difference in the look. Terry put the logo in the same place on the mask, and put extra padding behind it for support and protection.

Jim, if you place the mask material over your mouth are you able to breath through it??? I'm just trying to determine if it will work with a vararam.
Another Question: If I purchase the mask and it doesn't work with the vararam, may I return it? Also, any plans getting it in magnetic red?
Thanks

Yes, you can breath through it.....It will work fine with the Vararam and yes you can return it if for some reason you find it does not work with your Vararam.

Thanks,

Jim
