Default SpeedLingerie Bra

Have any of you purchased and installed the SpeedLingerie Bra on their ZR1? If so, can you comment, post some pictures (or email), etc. We used one on our 23000 mile 2007 VR Z06 and was very satisfied ... but wondering more about how they fit around the bottom and the splitter.
Thanks,
Dick

Not the Speed Lingerie, but Colgan designed a bra for my ZR1. Looks and works great. Covercraft now ownsColgan. Don't know if they ever produced the unit

Had the SL bra for my Z06. It fit ok, but after a while the bottom would lift up at highway speeds. Also it uses tabs that slide between the fender and the headlight, that always pushes the weatherstripping out of the way. Think I'm done with removable bras. For my newly purchased ZR1, I'm giving in and going with a clear bra.

SL added a velcro strap going between the splitter and nose to stop the lift-up ... I added that feature to our Z06. You also need a small pc of plastic such as from a milk jug to push in where the tabs go....then insert the tabs.

We are still on the fence regarding clear shield vs SL bra ... see picture SL sent of an early application on a blue ZR1

Ya, I am concerned about the fit around the splitter and how they are attaching it in the lower area ... I've asked Rich from SL to send me more information and pictures.

One thing you guys need to keep in mind,this thing will cause damage to the paint wherever dirt,dust is allowed to collect.My car had 7000 miles on it when I got it a few years ago,the front of the car is still nice enough to want to keep the chips at a minimum thats why I spent the money on this thing.Would go with the clear application but nobody makes one for a 20 year old car,not much of a market I guess would be the reason.I just bought one of the nylon covers and the fit is perfect.I dont drive the car on the freeway too much but if I can keep the car looking as good as possible,that works for me.The SL fits nice on the top of the bumper but on the sides the wrinkles make the thing look like somebody threw a diaper on the car.
