Default Piggyback for CR

Greg: can you post a picture of the piggyback cover on your car? Do the straps go behind the sidepipes or over the outside of them? What do the straps hook to? body? frame?

I didn't really seriously consider that style cover because in spite of having ceramic coated sidepipes, mine still run very hot. I use my car as a daily driver and typically need to go from car to office (e.g. meetings, phone calls, etc.) without much delay.

I'm guessing you don't also have the Lift-a-Dot studs in your car if you're using that style cover. I can't remove the studs already in my CR body without leaving a bunch of holes. Do you think the piggyback cover would work on a CR that also has the studs in it? Like fitting inside the "rectangle" formed by the studs.
