It'll only be used for trips so not worried about paint fade.
I'd really encourage you to look into the Colgan. It's pretty simple to put on (~10 minutes) and it's nice and snug so you don't have to worry about it moving around and putting scratches. Comes in two pieces- one large one that covers the front bumper and a smaller piece that slips over the front edge of the hood to protect the first 6 inches or so.

No velcro, just clips and 3 fender clips on each side that attach to the wheel well. It's extremely well made and nice and thick so you don't need to worry about rocks and debris pelting your fascia. It's custom made for this car so every clip attaches to something already built in to the vehicle.

Thank you. I'll definitely check them out. I have a week to find something that works before the first trip then c5fest after that!

I haven't decided yet whether go get a bra or not but if I do it will be a Colgan, I've bought two of the Colgans in the past and there the best in my opinion. BTW, it will take seven to ten days for a Colgan bra to arrive once you've placed your order.

I've tested it and removal is a pain to say the least.

I looked at the colgan and they are very open in the front. Want more protection. Buddy of mine from Ohio Speed sent me this link and I bought it. Looks like this will work for my splitter and the way it attaches seems good and best of all he said it will be here by Friday here's the link to it

If it works for you that's all that matters, that being said I wouldn't put that my SS.

Things I don't like about it, it doesn't cover areas I would want covered, looks ugly, for the same money you can buy a Colgan bra and I'm not sure the materials the cover is made of might not harm the paint, especially in long drives.

As I said, if it works for you that's all that matters. JMO

I hope it does what you were hoping.

Personally, that actually covers a lot less painted area. The colgan is open only over the plastic grilles, which is a good thing for air flow. Colgan will also withstand much more damage. One decent sized rock hitting that one you selected is gonna leave a mark.

Just my $.02
