I'm looking for a vynyl bra to use only when I'm on the interstate on a long trip.
I hate them, too - but I have a 1,000 mile trip coming up in early June, and I don't have the time to get a clear bra installed.
Soooo anyone?

I got the Colgan and paid $98. I'd rather have a clear bra, but I'll have to save up a little first. Thought you'd like to see a red car w/a Colgan before you decide.

man is that ever UGLY!! whats with the elastic things between the headlights? horrible thing to do to a c- coupe... and especially bad for the paint job- all of that flapping around at speed will destroy the paint in no time.

No. 1, it doesn't flap. No.2, if you keep your car clean, the paint will be fine.

I had one for years that I used on a 911. May not be the first choice, but it's effective. Like a condom.

I agree with you completely. Where did you get it?
Thanks for posting the pics.

RedC230K,
I got it at http://www.sportsimportsltd.com/noname2.html. Cost is $88.95 plus shipping, and I think it totaled about $98. P/N you need is PR1115, and it took about a week to arrive.

Just ordered one. Thanks!
They're ugly as hell, but will do the trick on long road trips.

Just like condoms, they serve their purpose without being especially pretty. or impressive.
Nah, they aren't too bad.... better looking than rock chips!
Thanks for the help!!

Colgan bra

I recently had a great experience buying the Colgan bra for my C230 and want to offer the site for those of you who may want one for a long trip which is the reason I bought it. The price was better than other posts so why pay more.

The fellow I spoke with was Rob at Cruise Control Auto Accessories at 770-439-0443. The price was less than $89.00 including shipping so I bought the mirror covers also. The part # for the bra is PR1115.1 if you don't want the license plate hole and the mirror is MC1112. Tell him you found him on this site and don't be surprised if it's a little cheaper.
