I got the gm bra for my 2004 coupe. But found the snaps on the wheel wheels ARE NOT CORRECT. If fact, I returned it to the dealer, and the one I got after that was the same way. This is an easy fix, but will confuse you, as as it comes, will NOT snap correctly to the wheel wheels
PM me. The fix cost about $3, and I can send you the info. Before you email me, try installing it first, so you see what I am saying

Mr. Wonderful, how bad were the rubber grommets behind the wheel wells?

I agree the directions are not very clear. The only snaps I had problems with were the ones in the wheel wells. The little rubber grommets that came with the bra are basically worthless. I ditched them and ended up just putting a lock washer and nut on the snap screw from the inside of the wheel well liner. Has remained tight for better than 3 years. You can also buy some marine snaps to replace the supplied GM snaps.
