I have one of these as well and have had it for 2 years now. It is so easy to put on and take off. After I use it, I just throw it in the washer and it comes out as good as new.
I have started having a problem with the wind getting under the bottom and the whole mask comes up over the front of the car. I am thinking the elastic around the bottom has weakened, not sure. I had the thought of putting some velcro at the bottom to hold it better. Any other suggestions?
Thanks

What color would you recommend for a white car? I was thinking black, but do you have any pics with the mask on a white C5??

I bought one about a month ago for a long trip it worked great. The first time I installed it, I inserted the license plate holder and screwed down the bolts. It fits very smooth. The second time I took it off I dabbed super glue around the bolt holes, just to make sure it wouldn't run. Since then I have had it off and one several times. Always a nice fit.

I love mine, but when I installed it, the supplied screws would NOT thread into the nutplates. I had to run a SLIGHTLY oversized drill bit thru the nutplates in order for the screws to correctly thread. Anyone else have this problem? Upon further inspection, the thread pitch of the supplied hardware was slightly different then the OEM stuff.

The red is definitely more torch...it's important to note, though, that in general the manufacturer recommends the red mask as a highlight color for a different color car rather than setting up an expectation where the red mask will match any red car.
Hope that helps!

A big enough rock moving fast enough will cut through just about anything, but if you're looking for protection against rock chips and bug debris this is the clear winner in price, ease of installation/removal, and sharp looks.
