post #5 will give you a website for ordering. Most boat and marine shops also carry them. They are a lot easier on the install then are the original fasterners that came with the bra.

The marine snaps will work just fine.

I used screw in marine snaps in the front wheel wells in place of the hardware that GM provided. The marine snaps are easier to install since they just screw right in place of the wheelwell screws. Try any marine and boating supply store for the screw in snaps. Bring a wheelwell liner screw with you to match.

and just to take it one step farther, after i installed my z0 bra i was bothered by the "chrome" snaps so i went to a crafts store and bought some black coated female snaps and when i am rolling without the bra i snap those over the male pieces to cover up the "exposed" snaps.

You can "stain" most screws and metal parts black by using liquid gun bluing available at most sporting goods stores.
