Default GM Bra, part#12495616

I would like to get a good bra for my vert, but don't want to spend a lot of money. This one goes for <$70. Is anyone using this bra? Pictures? Problems?
Thanks!

I don't know if this is the part number I have, but I use the GM factory bra on my 00 coupe. It fits just great and does not flap at high speeds. Only problem on install is the snaps that go on the fender lip. I modified mine to use lock washers and nuts on the back instead of the rubber grommets that come with the kit. Have had it on the car for about six months and no problems like scratches or loosening. For the money, it can't be beat.

There are others out there that are slightly more expensive and users have said they do the job well also. You might look around and see which one you want. I have been very happy with my GM one - easy on/easy off after the initial install.

Good luck on whatever you decide. :cheers:

Hey Now:
I use the GM Bra on long trips. I am very happy with the product. Just be sure car and bra are clean before applying bra, also keep front of car waxed good too. :yesnod:

Thanks for the advice guys. I just placed my order...I can't believe I could buy anything for the Vette for under $100. Shipped to my door, the price was $71. SWEEEET!

I've always been reluctant to use bras because I feared it would scratch the finish, but I'm sure a heavy coat of Zaino will protect my baby. :cheers:
