Default Colgan Bra Install

I just received a Colgan Custom Bra for my C6 and it looks like some of the clips that attach to the car are metal...

Who has installed this and what are your suggestions?

Its an easy install. Took 30 min. the first time and about 15 after that. Follow the instructions in order. Make sure you keep the bra in the house(room temp.) before you put it on. You have to stretch it a little(seems like a lot) when you install. It works great for bugs and small rocks.

Oh yea almost forgot. Make sure your car is clean and waxed before you start.

You can probably go on their web site and get instructions. If not, start at the wheels and work towards the center. Do the headlight inserts last. If doesn't work PM me with a fax number and I will send you a copy.

Have had mine for 10 months, no problems. look at other posts & take your time the first time....the key is to have it warm/hot. goes on quite easy. ( warm in direct sun light for appox 30 mins )

Default Got it installed

First off it was a used bra purchase... Paid under $40 + Shipping So I am okay with its defects...

Big plus is that it was already stretched.

I do have some questions...

Where the tabs slide down between headlights and bumper cover, it looks like the bumper will have an adverse effect if left in too long. It seems to be pushing it up a bit.

also Where the Bra attaches to the lower fender well I am missing the lowest clip, just a small hole. Bra fits fine, will I see any problems with this?
