I’d look elsewhere for your rear spoiler unless you want to wait about 6 months for it to show up. 👍🏼

I bought a nose bra from SpeedLingerie for my Cyber Gray '12 GS. They sent me several different swatches before a made a decision. They were very helpful.

I had a bra from Speed Lingerie on my 12 GS. It was a quality piece of equipment, but to make sure you keep your paint in good shape, you must remove the bra frequently to clean underneath as well as wash the bra. Because the fitment of the bra is tight, removing and reinstalling was somewhat a pita. On my 13 427 vert, I put a clear Expel bra and have been much happier!

If you're looking specifically at the ZR1-style spoiler, get it from Extreme Online Store and have it painted locally if you want to color-match. All the vendors, including RPI sell the Extreme Online Store Spoiler (you can see it stamped on the underside when you receive it). EOS has much better feedback than RPI & the price won't be marked up either

I'd recommend buying a pre-cut paint protection film for the bumper over a bra. Not only do the bras look less attractive, they can trap dirt underneath and leave rub marks that you then have to polish out. This is mainly true for if you plan on driving it for an extended period.

I drove with the bra on for months. Not a scratch (there is some sort of microfiber liner under the bra) or any dirt underneath. The bra comes with a fastening kit which consists of some Velcro strips with snaps and other fasteners. Once the kit is installed it stays in place. It takes about 5-7 minutes to install once the kit is in place and about 3 minutes to remove. The trick to installing it the first time is to let it sit out in the sun so the material will stretch a little bit. The fit is very snug and the bra will not move around at speed. Here is there web site.

I have a ZR1 replica spoiler from RPI on my 2011 BSM GS. Ordered 8/5/2020, received 10/13/2020. Was quoted 4-5 weeks, ended up 9+. Spoiler itself is EOS, they just painted it.

Bra is on it's way.If you could only do the Spoiler or the tail lights,which would it be.The car has a black top and is Inferno Orange.The spoiler would be matte black.

Trick question? Lol. I'd sell aluminum cans to make up the difference in funds to buy both. Of course, buying one today and the other for Valentine's Day or St. Patrick's Day (gift for your partner or course) is a solid option.

I have a matte black one on my white GS and love it. Drilling holes was nerve wracking, but in the end I'm very happy with it.

I think you will like it as it comes straight out of the box ... EOS says it's black primer, but there is no primer paint on it.

What you get is a semi-textured matte black plastic spoiler that matches the color and texture of the black plastic diffuser that's below the rear bumper cover.

I'd rather buy from a guy in a dark alley selling out of his van than ever buy from RPI again.
