I got the GM ones from Gene Culley here on the forum. Good price, no BS, quick delivery.

I bought them for functionality, to keep the paint from getting chipped behind the wheels.

You have to remove the rear wheels to drill holes in the fender well (don't have to with the fronts). But if you have, or know someone, who has a low profile right angle drill you won't have to remove the wheels. My buddy has one, but I never asked until AFTER I had done the job out in the 90 degree sun. Was not fun at this age.

You can just barely see it behind the rear wheel:

These are a pretty inexpensive alternative for a right angle drill, very handy to have

I got my frp power steering, battery,coolant, brake booster, master cylinder & fuse box covers final fitted.
Had 2 areas I had to trim a little more.
I modified the after market units as I did not like how short the sides are so I lengthend the sides to hide more.
Fit the new cap covers on at the same time.
It all looks good now to get it totally finished and new Velcro installed.

If I recall, there is only 3 inches between the tire and fender liner for the drill head and stubby bit.

A regular right-angle won't fit.

Default Did first long road trip...

Round trip from Olympia, WA to Pasadena, CA over the Christmas holiday weekend; 2800 miles. Used the 5 a bunch... but also cut over to the coast a few times (OR, Central CA and N CA) to get some time on some twisty state routes.

OR 38.... west from Reedsport...

No pix on CA 198 (San Lucas to Coalinga).... VERY twisty and traffic kept me from pix opportunity.

First time using the Novistretch Bra.... worked like a champ.
