I would definitely be interested in a colgan bra for my ap2 too. They have them listed on their website for my04-06 (colgancustom.com)

Only problem is I have an OEM lip and it wont work with their model bra. It's starting to become a real PITA to blue tape the front end of my car everytime I have to take a long road trip on the highway.

nope doesn't leave a residue at all except where I "roll" the tape over on the hood's edges. It may leave just a little bit of adhesive on the edged parts but is easily taken off. I use the low adhesive tape on what will actually be contacting the car then I do another layer of regular painter's tape (which is thicker and has a stronger adhesive)

May seem like I'm crazy but it just absolutely kills me inside when I hear little rocks and pebbles hitting my front end. I know the car won't be perfect if driven on roads, but I will try my hardest to keep it that way!

Many people have tried to convince me to get a clear bra, but I just dislike the way they look near the edges and how it gives that orange peel look. Every older clear bra that I've seen looks significantly aged with discoloring and the edges peeling up...maybe its because these are vehicles that aren't garage kept like mine would be?

I bought one early last year and returned it. Basically, it was a PITA to install. Eventually I was able to put it on, but it literally took me an eternity of stretching and pulling tabs into place. Not worth it IMO. Get a clear bra from 3M instead.

I just bought one for MY06, but it's from Le Bra. Still in the box when I try to put it wasn't that easy, aparently I have to remove a couple of the clips that secure the plastic under the front fenders in order to secure it. Looks to e like a PITA. No time yet to deal with this
