The directions were terrible, they should hire the guys that write the manuals for the made in china crap you get at the swap meet; it would be an improvement. Can't believe GM produced these.

This link provided by blacksedan87 at the beginning of this thread is FAR superior. Throw the factory directions out and print these out instead https://www.corvetteforum.com/techti...D=32&TopicID=1

That being said, the bra and the forum both came through. Got the additional marine snaps as recommended, and installed in less than 30 minutes. Most of that time was spent trying to decipher the instructions.

Other guys looking to install one: Actually mount it on the nose first, then identify which screws to replace with snaps.

I made the 2,200 mile trip back, and the bra performed great. Highly recommend.

Agreed. Directions were pathetic. I would've probably done it FASTER if I had put it on the car first for fitment and then just started the job.
