I've had mine for a couple of months. I like the look better than the mopar bra because of the colors and strips options (mine is red with silver strips). They guarantee it to 150mph, I've had mine to 155 and it stayed on. My only complaint is that you have to take it off to open the hood, i've been meaning to email them to offer a slit in the netting so you could pop the hood without removing the bra but keep forgetting. Anyway I've had alot of good responses from people so far no negative.

I've had the bra and mirror covers for about 6 weeks. Very well made and look much better on the car than black covers do. It is still very hard to install and it is very invonvenient to check the oil. When I ordered it, the company said a hole to access the hood release would adversely affect the integrity of the bra so it wouldn't be stable at speed. I also have a problem with it rubbing on the bottom right corner. I haven't contacted the company about that yet. The main disadvantage is the price so if you can live with $750 for a bra and mirror covers... I recommend it.

I have had the bra for a couple of months. Not too much before the winter chill, however. I also had the same issue with the inability to open the hood with the bra on and made a few modifications. First I added an extender to the hood latch bringing it through the bottom of the fascia so the hood can be opened without taking the bra off. Second I added the Mopar bra bendable extensions to the inside (below the hood) and to the bottom. That allows the bra to be better secured than with the elastic alone. The overall fit and color matching is very good.

One additional thought: I wish that they would not have made the clear plastic opening for the front emblem. Alignment of the bra to the emblem is very difficult and not really necessary.

Bra's do not belong on motor vehicles or men.At least most men.Bra's belong on women,but certainly not all women.A bra or even a diaper might be appropriate for a corvette or porsche but certainly not for a viper. Bruce

Bruce is just envious of those of us who can but a bra on our Vipers and drive them year round. In Buffalo, he attaches a snow plow to his front end and they don't make a bra that will fit over a plow. BTW Bruce, when was the last time you drove your Viper on the road? When was the last time you even saw the road?
Come visit is in CA and we'll show you why a bra is useful.

You're right.This is garage season for a viper.Tinker & shine.But its outdoor season for a 4x4 ram with knobby tires.We only have gotten about 80 inches of snow so far this year.There never seems to be enough snow.At least not where the ram is concerned.Last year one day when I got home there was 36 inches on my drive.Ram just punched through it.Kind of looked like a boat pushing a wake.No need for a plow,snow blower or shovels.Just a different tool for a different season of the year.Still don't care for bra's on cars,or sweaters on dogs or men in dresses.Hey if the bra fits your style then go for it.
