Default Requesting pictures of the Colgan Bra

I have done a search, there's a number of threads from 2000-2002 that should have pictures but the links are all old and broken.

Could someone post current pictures of your S2K w/ the Colgan installed. Sebring would be a bonus.

Thanks, Travis

Doesn't look that great with the front bumper part so I just use the one for the hood.

not a big fan of the bra, but with the extended haul for fall colors, a bra might not be a bad option.
if you're selling the bottom half, let me know... it's easier to clean off a bra rather than knocking off 8000 bugs

Sorry for the size (1600 x 1200) but it's the only pic I have of the car with it on.

Click here for pic.

I guess what I'm really asking about is the quality of the bra and fitment to the car. I'm not so concerned w/ the looks of the car overall w/ the bra, I agree it takes away from the nose. I only want it for protection on long trips.

I didn't have any fitment issues. I've only used the bra once, and that was for a 5000mi road trip up to the NE and back. For any more extended trips, I'll happily use it again.

Like Elistan I've used mine once for a 5,000 plus road trip up into Canada and back.
Had no problems and will use it again on the next road trip.

Not mine (Colgan w/brake duct holes):



Mine (Colgan carbon, no brake duct holes, no license plate hole):



I'm not a big fan of "Bro's" but it does it's job on trips and track days. Fit is good, a little tough to close the hood and install until you've done it a few times. Bought it direct from Colgan for ~$115. You can get it with or without the brake duct & license plate holes.

Thanks S2Ka, (bro...I like that, yeah I know it's a Sienfeld reference) that was exactly what I was looking for. What's the difference in the "normal" and the Carbon Bras? Is it just made to look like CF or actually made of CF?

Need to get one before my first long road-trip, Bugs (and rocks) are horrible down here in the SE

The carbon ones have a texture to the vinyl that makes it look like carbon fiber weave. In reality it's very tough to spot the difference, and the standard version is easier to clean because it doesn't have as much texture for the bugs to get stuck in. The standard version is about $10 cheaper, the only reason I got the carbon is because they had the version with no license plate hole and no brake duct holes in stock at the time. For reference, the part number of mine was PR1065.13+.
