I finally tried to get the lower part of the bra I bought over a year ago to go on and it seems that the ends reach to the fender, but the button attachment doesn't seem to fit over the screws currently in place. Just curious if the OEM (so I believe since I bought it used) bras also came with a new set of fender screws? I'm not in the biggest rush to get it on, esp. with more snow on it's way, but if I'm missing a few things, I rather start looking for them now rather than waiting another year

 

I didn't have to replace any type of screws to install mine. Although yours sounds a little different from mine. Wat brand bra did you buy? I have a LeBra and all it has is little clips that slide into the wheel wells and other areas on the bumper/grill. I had no buttons to install, but then again maybe yours is different.

 

The OE ones do use replacement screws in the fenders. just two.

I lost mine several years ago, so what I did was take the bra to a hobby/fabric shop. the snaps on it are common size, so I just found a box of snap kit with the proper size in it (cost me a whole $3), and then I got some screws that fit from a hardware store. done.
