Bra for E 500 Sport

I had been looking for a bra for road trips. I really like the way this one fits and looks. It was really easy to install. Here are 3 pics. BTW. I forgot to tell them that I took the hood ornament off!

I always wash the car before a trip and then I will put on the bra. When I get there I will remove it and wash the car before reinstalling for the trip back. I really just want to keep the rock chips away.

What is Xpel?

Xpel is OK. I happen to like the venture tape clear film. It is stronger and more "optically clear" so it is especially good on lighter colors because it doesn't have the slight yellowish hue the 3m has (due to adhesive). Also the 3M film is clearcoated which can scratch and yellow. Venture tape film is also much stronger than the 3M. Both are good products however.

I ordered it over the Internet from some company in Seattle. There are lots that sell them. Colgen, I don't think, sells them directly, retail. It was about $129 with the rear view mirror covers. I have seen recently someone selling Custom Colgen Bras cheaper on Ebay though. $89 I think. It took about 3 weeks to make and get here.
