Default Help! My BRA is...

Anyway I purchased the GM Bra for Z06's and the fit around the screens and corner lights is very bad. First the tabs along the top of the screens don't push all the way in... seem to hit screw heads about half to two thirds of the way in. Second the last upper tab on each corner lamp doesn't slide all the way up as you would think that it would. Third the profile of the cutout at the corner lamps is much smaller then the lamps which obscures a good portion of the turn signal.

The installation instrutions are really bad. If I had not installed one before I would have been at a complete loss (I have the GM Bra for the 2000 roadster and I am very happy with it).

If anyone has a solution to share I will be most appriciative.

Neil.

I have read down through the thread in your post and found no answers to why this thing is such a POS.

Being sort of a perfectionist I can not stand to have this thing on the car is if is going to look "tacky".

I am amazed that this thing has the GM name on it. This version must have been a redesign project done by an intern and his boss did not check it.
