Default GX470 Hood bra install instruction

If anyone have a copy on how to install the bra for the hood and also the front bumper. Please, I need a copy. I purchased a new set but, lost the instruction to install. My fault.

You can probably google it to find the instructions. To add my worthless $.02; car bras are seriously ugly at best and can scratch your paint at worst.

It can scratch it too and will dull your paint as well. My Mom had one of those on her car for years and she had it professionally detailed and they removed it and the paint looked horrible underneath. They had to compound / buff / wetsand the hell out of it to bring it back to its original color and shine.

Dont do it...if anything get one of those clear 3M protectors. Itll be more expensive but will look 100x better and it wont damage your paint.

I only use the bra when driving in the interstate. Not during city driving.

I, too, have the 3M clear protector and have had it on the car since I bought it new...I would never go to the ugly black bras, they scuffed the paint on my wife's car really bad, too.

Yeah man don't do it, plain and simple. I had one thos black bra on my white honda Accord. And one day I had to remove it to have the hood repair. To my amazement the paint looked just right down horrible. I was mad because the bra was supposed to protect my hood, not making a mess out of it.
Don't do it.
