I have a bra that used to be on my '91 that I can sell you if you want it. Its is NOT in mint condition, though. I can't remember what part was chewed on by a dog ( the previous owner ) , but I can look again if you are interested. It still works, and looks pretty good, but is not mint. I had it on my car after it was chewed on, but it became too much of a hassle. Doug

Nope. It won't fit your '91. I tried putting the cover off my brother's '87 on mine ('92 RS) after he didn't want it anymore. Side to side it's about 3-4 inches too short and an inch too short in height. No amount of baking it in the sun and then stretching it would make it fit. The gfx on our cars is shaped so radically different from the older models when you consider how those bras fit.

The 85-87 sport coupe bra won't fit. A Z28/IROC one will.

91rsrider, sorry to hear about that. Did you ever get that t-top fixed? Well I hope everything works out for you. Seems like your having alot of bad luck this winter. I gotta see the car when it's better, good luck man! Oh yeah, maybe try Pepboys or advanced auto parts for the bra, but I dont know how much you wanna spend on it if it is only for a temp problem?

unless you smahed your whole front end in, i had a bra on my car, and unless you wanna destroy more paint on the front end and hood, or spend more money on a professional buff job to try and get it back out, just deal with the ugliness like most people do, instead of making it more ugly by putting the deadly bra on it...

I hate how ghetto the bras look because you KNOW that theres damage under there because noone in their right mind would use one -- they distroy your paint job.

not to say that I havent done exacly what you are planning on doing -- just hated doing it.
