Search the forum for installation details for the GM bra. The instructions included with the bra are horrible. Finding the right "bend" for the top snap-clip takes a little patience the first time. After you have done it a few times, it is a breeze.

I used a pair of duck-billed pliers to shape that tab into a U-shape to clip onto the fender. Needle nosed pliers work well too, just get the right angle.

By all means wear a bra, you'll regret not getting one after such a trip. They're cheaper than repainting your front end.

Lots of great advice. I'm trying to buy the bra now over in "Parts" if the guy ever answers me.
