Default GM bra installation

Do you still have to buy 4 additional marine snaps to install on the fender like on a C5 ? Or do the C6 covers finally have them included ?

My GM bra that I got from the dealer had everything I needed to install.

Thanks, but the guys that have (had) a C5 will know what I mean.
I'm wondering if the C6 bra comes with those annoying rubber spacers for front wheel well.

IF the GM bra is like the Colgan, than no you won't need the snaps Mr.W.

The C6 bra is a totally different animal than the C5.
First time you try installing it you'll be scratching your head but-good, just as many of us did.
One thing about [the] snaps is they're self explainatory as oppsed to the gizmos used to fasten the C6 bra.

In any event I'm sure you already know to attempt the first-time install when it's hot outside, the hotter the better.
When new the things are really tight until stretched, and heat sure aids getting 'em plyable.
