Watching the installation video, one of the last steps is to "loosen the air dam and tuck edges of the material between its ends and the lower bumper."
Being that the video was of a C7 I phoned Novistretch and was told the same would apply for my C5.
If that's not the case ... thanks for the input, much appreciated.

I don't find it necessary to tuck the material in between the front fender corners and the flexible front spoiler as it's on pretty tight. I will use my finger to tuck in the best I can, however I've never had to loosen the flex corner spoiler pieces in order for the bra to be tight agaisnt the front bumper. Just bending the flex spoiler down a little bit is enough to push the material in between the fender and the flex spoiler.
He went on to say this is recommended to help prevent guys from stretching the material over the air dam itself where damage would likely happen to the material on curbs.
Thanks.

Got the Novi Stretch bra and mirror covers installed today. Two comments:
1. The snap hardware screws are significantly shorter (1/4") than the ones removed and without washers. They seemed to "bite" okay but I wish they were the same length and had washers to spread the load.
Has anyone tried to replace those supplied by NS with something longer and with a washer?
2. The mirror covers seem okay but there's a little bit extra "skin" at the pivot point of the mirror housing.
Has anyone tried calling a mohel to trim?
Otherwise it's looking good.
