I'm also thinking about a bra. I'd like to see a picture of one on a Spa S2k. Until the clear stuff gets cheaper I won't consider it, especially when installation prices are ridiculous.

I'm getting the M kit from Stongard plus the light kit installed tomorrow. Installed all for the low price of around $800.00. Figure it's better than friggin stone chips etc.

Just got the Invinca-Shield kit installed about a week ago, plus Xpel kit on the headlights. Total was $530, including installation, in Columbus, OH. Up close you can see the seams, but from any distance at all, you really can't see it. Don't have pictures yet, but I'm very happy with it. Beats the heck out of a stone pecked front end, and I plan on driving mine every day I can!

Sure. I recommend the Colgan...although I ended up selling mine when I purchased an OEM lip spoiler and the version of the Colgan I'd purchased was for a plain-jane front end. Definitely cuts down on the road-rash factor during club drives and such . Asthetically,......its a toss up. Since I call my Spa "The Bruised Banana" I never minded the bra on it as it added more "bruisin'"

I have the colgan bra and use it for highway driving.
Like ajjra above, I also purchased the side mirror "mini" bras and I am very satisfied. I put plastic bags to cover headlights so everything is protected.
The one limitation I see with this bra is that I can't go past 100 MPH as it begins to flap around and that makes me nervous...

I've had both, the Colgan bra and now the 3M Clear Bra on the car and I prefer the 3M (Scotchcal) if you find it at a reasonable price.

Where do you get the "flapping around"? Over the headlights? At the top of the fenders?

If its over the headlights...there were two "versions" of Colgan's bra made for the S2000. In the first rendition, there was nothing to really keep the part of the bra over the headlights from "catching air" and ballooning up. Since then, (as you can see in some of my pics above) they stitched a sliver of material from top to bottom over the opening of the headlight to keep it from ballooning.

If its at the top of the fenders, you might not have your side retaining clips "twisted" under the frame of the fender deeply enough. You *are* aware that the fabric covered clips actually slide between the metal fender and the plastic wheelwell, right? First time I'd put the bra on I'd only "clipped" it over the fender and didn't force it into the gap between the fender and the wheelwell. I'd get that flapping there as the clip would come free at speeds of even 60 or 70. Once I "got it right" however, I was tooling at a buck 20 and never had troubles.
