Default Is this for a bra?

I just bought this car in August and noticed this plastic plate that looks like it has been added to the car. Is it for a bra? Thanks for the input.

Hard to tell from your picture, But if they are the chrome snaps like on a boat cover they are for a bra, My GM bra has the same set-up.

The flat plastic (male) brackets are specifically for a SPEED LINGERIE bra. The SPEED LINGERIE bra has (female) plastic channels that slide over the inside of the fender brackets, making it very secure w/o the need of VELCRO or snaps.
The previous owner probably sold his bra and forgot to remove the brackets. Watch the CF classifieds and you might get lucky and find a like new/used SPEED LINGERIE bra for sale. They retail for almost $600, but most sell for 50% (or less) than that by members.

Looks like a piece from a Speed Lingerie bra.

Just saw a Blue Speed Lingerie bra sell on ebay a few weeks ago. It went for about 1/3 of what they cost. New $600
