I think the list vendors can probably add more to this, but in my experience
the oem-type bras have the car's model name (eg Vanagon, GTI, ...) stitched
into it somewhere, and new these go for about $100.  There are other brands
and these probably don't have the names stitched in, and they typically go
for less (about $20 or so less).  As to installation, my oem-type was pretty
easy to put on...just some clips to bend around the sheetmetal by the front
door.

Hope this helps,
