Default insight bra mod

I was thinking of getting a bra for the front of my insight and I seem to recall that someone here modified their bra to cover the lower air intake area with matching black material. I believe they said they used rivits of some kind or buttons. I'm wondering what buttons or rivits could be used to secure the air block flap to the bra? I can't seem to find something that would work, perhaps I just don't know what I'm looking for. Thanks.

Greetings CalPod,

That looks pretty nice Calpod. I've never had one on any of my vehicles, but I assume that it has to be removed to open the hood. Is that correct?

I recently bought my Insight used, and most of it's body dings and such are on the nose. A bra like this would go a long ways towards cleaning up my exterior.

It does not need to be removed. There is a seperate piece that goes on the hood. I also got mine from carbras.com. Total with shipping is $109.97.
