Clear bra won't keep them on. It's a cut piece on those covers.

I ended up ordering the replacements (painted) from Sewell. Cost $115, incl shipping. I think I'll install a clear bra on the front bumper (and hood), to minimize the chance of somebody popping them off again.

Yeah...they cut around them. Its prob not a good idea to clear bra over them anyways in case you're in a situation where you need to be towed (hope you don't), then you'd have to mess up the clear bra.

I'd super-glue them on, but with my luck, would need to tow it the next day!

You could still have clear bra over them and ask the installers not to cut around it. If you needed to take them off, you just need a razor blade and slide it through the gap, between the bumper and the cover. Of course, if someone really wanted to take them from you, they could do the same thing.

Only one option.
Hide your car.
What they don't see, they won't take.
Now I am nervous about the side mirror been stoten, parking it in the garage from now on.

To prevent such vandalism, I'm just going to remove both of them and then, as necessary, I'll just turnaround and see who's behind me.

In south Alabama it is Smith and Wesson and not the crowbar
but we are all rednecks I know not to touch someone car because only bad things can happen from there.
