Default Speed Lingerie Installed!

I bought the speed lingerie bra and mirror covers in September, and just installed them yesterday (a 60+ degree day here in Maryland for a New Years Day drive). The bra was a p.i.t.a. to install, but it fits awesome, color is good match (Mag Red) - my wife said she couldn't tell I even had a bra on from 30 yards or so. Once you get over the cost (it's taken since September to get my checking account balance back to respectability...), there is no better looking bra out there.

Please do post a few pics of the bra. Can you take one showing how you affix the bra on the sides, top and bottom? I'm thinking of purchasing one of these bras in the spring, but not happy to hear it was a pain to install. Can you be a bit more specific as to why it was a pain? Did you order it direct from SL or purchase somewhere else. SL is at about $569 for the bra. Thanks. Dan

Cajun: How was installation for you? I understand there are no screws to remove and snaps to install. True? How easy was it to install from your perspective? Would you buy it again if you had it to do all over again? Dan

This seems to be one of the upsides of having a black car.

Seriously. Is there mesh over the DRL/parking lights?

There are two plastic inserts that use the existing screws in the front of each wheel-well. I also have a light weight cover that uses snaps so I used different screws so I can use either bra.

Installation of the bra itself is a task. It fits so tightly, it needs to be warmed up (which is no problem in Florida) by laying it out in the sun for about 30 minutes. Even then - it has to really be stretched to get the thing on. But once it is there - it fits snuggly, doesn't flap and won't hurt the finish.

Yes. I would buy it again. But shop around. There are deals to be had.
