With GM bra, can I open the hood without removing the bra ? Also, is it hard to install the bra ? I am talking about a full-front mask here.thanks

The GM bra is actually a two piece set. The first piece covers the front of the hood. The second piece covers the front bumper. You can open the hood with the bra on. Regarding installation, based on my personal experience, it took me about 45 to 60 minutes to install it the first time, since you have to replace two screws in the frontl wheel well and you have to do some stretching. But the next time, it only took me less than 15 minutes to do. Also, its easier to install when the weather is warmer, since the vinyl material strecthes in the heat.Just my 2 cents.

The main difference is the screen mesh areas. the Lebra has mesh over all of the grille, and fog light openings. The main mesh for the top grille is one piece. The pontiac bra only has mesh to cover the top grille and the mesh is split into two parts to go with the design on the grille. I recommend the pontiac grille. I tried the wolf, lebra and pontiac bras. The pontiac bra is by far the best one of the 3. I recommend you check with colgan they were bringing a Vibe in June to get their mold made.

I would assume the Dealer bra would be better and come on it's only $16.00 more in which some of that would have been paid in shipping anyway.. You pay for better craftsmanship of course
