Front Mask
Anyone using the black MidAmerica front mask on their C5? It's part number 628-630 and comes with an embroidered C5 emblem on the front. At present, the mask is on sale for $99. Looking for some input before I purchase this one or another. Any and all advice will be appreciated.

I just got this mask.My instructions wre hard to understand.No pictures.One plastic clip broke and a elastic loop broke.I have not gotten a call back yet from Mid America.Over all it is a great looking mask.The broken clip I replaced with a metal one and resewn the loop.The inside label says made in China.Overall I will keep it on.
I would love a more economical alternative to Speed Lingerie, however there probably aren't too many.
I'm glad your mask is working out.
I live in Florida and two houses down the street had the Chinese drywall installed so I guess I'm a little biased these days.

We're going on a 10day roadtrip in May and need to do something with a mask ourselves. We're leaning towards the 3M clearbra or similar application as the wife really despises the bra/cover look. Found a local installer who will do the application for $500 to cover the front bumper/hood/light covers and mirrors. For an extra $100, he agreed to tint the windows too. It was the best price around and I really like the look/function much better than a black or even color matched bra.
The wife did find another option that is a DIY application called Road Warrior Plus. It's a paint protection that is water based, you can apply it yourself. It peels off clean with no residue and you can reapply as needed. http://www.roadwarriorplus.com/ I was considering using this to protect the area behind the tires. At about $53/qt it sounds worth looking at.

I ordered the factory GM bra from Gene at gmpartshouse.com - about $78 and it fits very good. Tough to get it on at first as the leather needs to stretch a bit, but a quality product.

I've got the mid-america mask too - fits fine and goes on fairly easy - one of the elastic straps at the bottom did break although it hasn't really affected the way works. I just use it for road trips and it works fine.

Does yours have the C5 logo? I've seen a few with and a few without. I would like to get one that has the logo.
