Default Bra Question...

Guys and Gals:

Is there a bra out there that can be put on without adding snaps or screws to the fender wells? I'm looking for something for basically ONE trip when I pick up my new car...Is the Lebra like this? I know the GM Bra looks like a good option, but is it an easy install? (Something I could do in a few minutes at the residence where I'm purchasing the vehicle)? I really don't want to spend a lot of money either as I'm putting a clear bra on it when I get it home...

Thanks,

Rossi

The GM has snaps. I heard of people just using painters tape for what you are trying to do.

The GM Bra...Would I just remove some existing screws in the wheel wells and replace with snaps? Pretty easy install? (As in five minutes and a screwdriver)?

Try this. I have one and love it. Easy on easy off with no snaps and fits great.

If you can find a GM bra it is a great one, Easy to install, Remove 8 or 9 screws and screw in the snaps, Very easy.

If it's only for one trip why not just use painters tape to protect everything. A freind of mine does this evertyime he tracks his GTI. He does the entire hood, front bumper, mirrors, and some other small areas. Extremely cheap but a little time consuming if you choose to cover a very large area.

I purchased a nose mask from C5 Creations and couldn't be more pleased. took about ten minutes to install the six snaps. after 1500 miles it shows no evidence of potenial damage to the paint. installing or removing the mask takes 30 seconds, stores in a pouch smaller than a bottle of oil. I recommend mirror covers also.
