so is the company that had it. the only problem i had was trying to stretch it to where it should be. probably because it was folded, and too new. the instructions do not say to cut the tabs. i believe you should, as they will rub on the tires, especially when turning, and in time, break. i suggest that you trim them a bit, rather than all-together, as you may need them in the future, should you want to remove the bra. i like that it comes in two pieces. as you can use them to fit your style. it is a good product. have one for my truck,
