Default Performance Hood Seal

Thinking about installing a PHS on 2004 vert, however, I use a GM Bra on out of town trips. Will the Bra still work with the PHS installed?

Even with how strong the temptation is ... I'll pass! Hey Truble, type your subject into the red search bar above. That will probably change your mind about this purchase.

If you're looking for the claimed 12 horsepower, it's a waste of money. If you're looking to keep the underhood area cleaner and drier if you drive in the rain, it's worth it.

Come on Guys. All I wanted to know was will it work with a Bra.
Not looking for HP, just easier ways to keep "under the hood" clean.

I have a speed lingerie bra on my car and you can't even see performance seal since the bra hooks over the front of it.
