from what i've heard, your gfx with sag. if you have a little metal working skill, you could probably fab up a brag pretty easily with a little sheet metal

I had one on my driver door which rotted, and it sags considerably. The pieces can be found relatively inexpensively at a wrecking yard, or through YearOne. I haven't looked at GM's goodmark brand for these pieces, but as mentioned, you can fabricate something fairly easily.
