Default Bra?

Does anyone make a bra to fit the front bumper (and maybe the side mirrors as well)? I'd like to have something to protect the front end on the occasional road trip.

Look at a Clear Bra. There is a minimal and a major install. Price wise I had the full and cost me $500. Will go on the mirrors and door handles also. On the white they are much more noticeable than on my Formula Red.

I have a Colgan. Had it on the car once. A good fit if the front is stock. I don't use mine. It's in the box. I'd sell it to someone who would give it a good home. For me it was a waste of money!

I think they are the only ones for our car. There is a piece for the hood and for the front. Rear mirrors are extra. I've never driven the car with it on, so I don't know if it flaps around or anything. It doesn't seem like it would - nice and tight.

I looked into the clear ones and decided not. They need to be installed by a real pro and they don't come off easy. Do a search and you will find both good and bad comments about them.

Check with your dealer there in Dallas. He should be able to give you references.

If you do a search on STONGARD or XPEL, you should find quite a few results and opinions.

I have the Colgan Bra, but I can't use it with my Mingster IDi front lip. My version has the cutout for the front license plate.

I have the Colgan & have always recommended it to folks. Purchased it from a "professional seller" on Ebay for something around $87.50 plus shipping. Also have the mirror bras...available again on Ebay for ~ $25 plus shipping.

Fit is nice. Mine is a bit "newer" than joe_s2k's pic I believe, as mine has an additional strip of material stylishly running top to bottom over the headlights (to keep them from catching air & ballooning at high speeds). Also, I opted to purchase mine without the license plate cutout.

I've got some pics at my pic site of The Bruised Banana (my Spa S2000)

Here's a tasty profile shot of my Spa with Bra:
