Unbelievable
:
Just finished installing front mask from C5Creations with side mirror covers. Absolutely the easiest install ever. The cover looks high tech with the side mirrors and almost looks like it is painted on. It fits like paint. I've had plenty of bras C5 Vette, BMWs, Mercedes, Porsche and 3 Ferraris. This is without a dought the cleanest looking and simplest to install and remove. Now don't get me wrong, other bras are thicker vinyl and I'm sure do a better job on larger road objects but this thing for the occational highway or road trip can't be beat.Three cheers for Harold at C5Creations.

How do I insert Pic? Sorry

I originally ordered $700.00 worth of SpeedLingerie nose mask/mirror covers for my 2007 Machine Silver Coupe. While nice, its a real hassle to put on, less to remove. But the real problem was their "machine silver" color match was NO match...it looked more like shiny chrome. I returned it.
I then contacted Harold at C5 Creations (yes they do sell items for the C6) and ordered the same as you. Initial install is you replace 4 push pins on each wheel/fender well with his custom snap system (they are chrome but I painted them in flat black rustoleum) and a very small piece of velcro underneath the lower intake painted fascia. After that, its a easy as child play as you "snap" your nose mask on the sides and open the hood to attach two clips to a bar. One minute On, One minute Off. Their only colors are a generic black, silver & navy blue and Corvette specific Mag Red and LeMans Blue...but his Silver color actually looks better than SpeedLingerie's "body colored"? match. Another benefit is his polyester/knit material can get wet and stay wet on the car without damaging the paint, unlike the heavy vinyl material. Easy wash and air dry. The whole deal could fit in the glove box! Price is $149.00 for the nose mask and $48.00 for the mirror covers (available separately).
Oh, and whatever aftermarket grill you have (I got a black Racemesh), no problemo fitting to it, unlike Colgan or GM. This wont protect you from large objects (like a rock) but will do the trick for very small pea gravel or asphalt like stones and the like debris, not to mention bugs etc,
I also got his console cover in black (same knit material) for my Ebony interior and added some foam underneath it....nice on your elbows for long trips. Excellent Customer Service via the phone with him.

Stretch nylon? Kind of like wearing panyhose instead of shin gaurds. That might explain the ease of installation.
Shin Guards, not shin gaurds...though yes, that explains ease of install.
Yes, its more like pantyhose as I dance around road obstacles in my C6 rather than looking to contact them and tackling them in heavy duty vinyl w/shin guards uniform.

Here is a pic of the stretch bra on my C5. I have the LeMans Blue bra color on my Electron Blue so its not a perfect match (they don't offer Electron Blue as a choice) but it is close.

The pic shown by 2k2C5 is similar to the C6 model but on the C6 product the stretch knit goes all the way down and covers the entire lower intake area leaving no paint/bodywork in the lower areas exposed.

It would have fit that way on my C5 except the ACI spoiler I added made it too tight of a fit. Without the lip spoiler there is no paint work exposed.
Thank you for correcting me. I thought your front lower end looked a bit different
