Default C5 Creations Bra

I love mine and back all of the claims Jim has to say about this product. I have a GM Bra as well and it isn't nearly as sharp and doesn't get the high positive comments as the C5 Creations Bra.

Great Product & Jim is a Great Guy.... IMHO Tux...

Looks like a great way to keep the dreaded luvbug splatter off the nose. Sometimes I wouldn't drive my '01 Z in the country for that reason. Looks like that problem is solved.

Ordered my torch red bra a few minutes ago.

(dang .... forgot to mention I saw it in this thread to avoid shipping - oh well.)

I have one on my Vett mainly to keep the bugs off while driving to and from car shows. Use it on long trips also. I really don't like bras on the front of a Vett, does look good to me. But it saves alot of cleaning time. I don't think it would help to much if a rock hits the front end either. Wish they had a yellow one.

I have one of these and love it! I will be getting the mirror covers next. It is so simple to use, just put it on, drive to the event and take it off! No bugs, no rocks, no problem.

Just got my bra the other day-called you guys to ask if it would fit with the ACI spoiler. Nice of you to be honest and let me know you weren't sure but if it didn't fit just to send it back. Got to tell you it fit's great-even better than I expected. It covers not only the nose but also slips right over the spoiler for even better protection. Got the product fast-orginal install took only minutes. Snap on and off in seconds. It's perfect for putting on after detailing the car and taking it to a car show. Off in seconds once I get there. Thanks guys-your great.

Got my nose bra yesterday, tried to put it on today. Has anyone had trouble with the screw clips? The screws appear to be to big for the clip, will only turn in about 1 or 2 turns and stop, will not tighten up.
I believe I will email Jim Monday.

I didn't have any problem with mine. I used a small SK socket set & ratchet to run them in with.

Gary, they are the right size, just make sure you are not cross threading them or have them backwards...Give me a call Monday if you need assistance...

Thanks,

Jim

who cares how dirty it gets

Most people want to take the bra off as fast as they put it on anyway

Should work.. we've never tried but you're more than welcome to try it out. If it doesn't work, just send it back. I'd be curious to know either way.
Hope that helps..

Thanks,
Dave
