The GM Bra is probably the best one on the market. You do not need to buy the screws that people are recommending but they are actually easier to use than what GM provided. They cost me a dollar at a boating shop. Just went to the parts department and they gave me what I needed. If you get the GM bra from West Coast Corvettes you can get the embroidered hood piece. However, that bra will cost you about $50 more than the one from Fichtners.

Here is the link to WCC's bra:

Just got my Colgan bra in the mail yesterday and put it on last night. I like it, it fits good and goes on in 2 minutes without taking anything off. All you need is a little plastic strip that is used like a shoehorn to wedge the parts in the fenderwell. I got the matching mirror cover too, but am only using those on roadtrips so they dont get stolen.

Bought a GM bra at the local Chevy dealer for $89 four years ago. I use it only on long trips. I'm happy with the fit and quality.

It has saved the front-end many times. Great for trips or for going to shows. Bill
I have a vararam intake system, has anyone ever cut the plastic out of the intake fog light area?
