It fits very well and is fairly easy to install.

i would never use one of those unless it was for like a weekend at the track,...all it does is dull the paint and put scratches in the bumper. do you keep it on there all the time?

thanx
justin

They fit great. I only use it for autox, track days, or long road trips.
My wife laughs at me everytime I mention my car's bra...

Fits like a glove and can't live without it it on these crappy highways we drive.
Its a garage queen so is on most of time.

mine fits perfectly also.

for anyone that lost a screw or something for the bra, you can order a repair kit or whatever they call it, for only 4 bucks or so. i'm picking mine up this week since i lost one 1 screw.

I think that is a common problem... mine is peeling too... but the rest of it is nice and snug. The only place where it's not fully tight is around the headlights, tends to catch crap like pockets.

Bra on the black R's is nice... my CW looks a little off with it on... ah well...

Bras are ugly, I would all put it on for tracks and long long trips.

If you haven't installed it in a while you'll need to stretch it to make it fit, but after that it's easy.
