Default Installing A Bra

Ok guys I am needing some help. I bought a bra for my sisters 89 accord hatchback and I cannot figure out how to install it. I got the center and the headlight pieces on but i cannot figure out how to get the side pieces on. The bra I bought didnt come with instructions, so if you guys could led me in the right direction I would apperciate it. Here are some before and after pics. Also I added a picture of what side pieces I am talking about.
Before


After


And here are the pieces I cannot figure out how to install.

It looks like for the two side pieces you have to pop the hood and slide them on the corner of the fenders and then it covers part of the fenders while the other end latches inside the fenderwell if that makes sense.

the stiff pieces should slide between the bumper and the sheet metal, or the bumper and the light. I've got an 05 Civic and the side pieces slide between the turn signal light and the sheet metal.

Yes bras will ruin your paint, they have been proven to do more hurt then good.

Dirt gets under the bra, the bra moves in the wind when you drive and wallah...the paint is scratch, damaged, etc.

You don't see new cars with bra's .

Well my sister is a neat freak and she washs this car every other day. lol.
And she takes the bra off each time she does, so I dont think she has to worry about dirt getting in behind it. I understand what you are saying about it scratching the paint, but this bra is on there pretty tight. Plus underneath the bra is this reallly soft cushion material. <TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by sj993 &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">40K?
