In my experience it will not fit. I had a speed lingerie mask and the then a splitter installed. The mask would not fit.

Now I use the Novi Stretch mask with no problems at all.

If the splitter covers the three screws under the center of the front fascia, then the GM bra will not work on the car. That is one of the drawbacks of installing a splitter, even though it may look really good.

When I had an ACI on my previous car, the stretch front end covers were the only one that would work.

Take your mask to a local auto upholstery shop and they can possibly modify the bottom part of it for you. A friend took his in and had a window installed for the front emblem and it looked like it came that way.

Use a stretch bra, its easier, you can probably sale one to get the other, they help, but not as thick as the GM.
