Description

In 1960, upholsterer Bill Colgan created a revolutionary soft, front-end shield for protecting Porsche’s new 356 while it whizzed around the test track. 45 years later, Colgan’s Original Car Bra fits and performs better than any other car bra on the market.

The Original Car Bra sports UV-resistant 100% virgin vinyl—the heaviest in the industry—which is milled exclusively to Colgan’s high standards. It resists fading in the sun, shrinkage in heat, and stiffness in bitter cold. Plus, it’s backed by a finish-pampering layer of thick flannel that’s integrated into the vinyl to prevent separation. This cozy lining keeps your paint scratch-free while the flow-through screen over your grille lets your engine breathe.

Hand-tailored to the specs of your vehicle from multiple pieces of vinyl, the Colgan Original Car Bra delivers the best possible “memory” fit with no harmful flapping at any speed. The Colgan Original Car Bra fits factory headlamps and won’t keep you from opening and closing your hood.

Whether you want a little or a lot of front-end protection, there’s an Original Car Bra for you. Trucks and SUVs can get the full front-end bra with or without a T-style hood piece, or the T-style piece by itself. What’s more, you can choose between a classic Black or ultra-modern Carbon Fiber finish.

When you want proven protection from the folks that started it all, the choice is Colgan. They even back your Original Car Bra with a 5-year warranty.

Colgan Carbon Fiber Original Car Bra

Posted on 02/14/2006 by Carl A. P. - 2005 Pontiac Grand Prix (Las Vegas,NV)

"Great fit and quality, but it was a bit difficult to install on my 2005 Pontiac Grand Prix GT. Also, portions of the directions looked like a 10th generation photocopy, so it was challenging to read them and view certain pictures. A little intuition was all that was needed to figure out where things went, however it was difficult to get the wheel well tabs to stay in place. I also hope they’ll make available Mirror Bras for my car soon."

"Workmanship is good ,but the fit could be better. The bra has only been on the car for two weeks and the top fender well clip won't stay attached.The hood cover could definitely fit better.The tabs that are to slide under the grill and headlamps do not stay in place."

Excellent Product, horrible delays

Posted on 02/12/2006 by Ryan M. (Auburn,MA)

"I am very impressed with the fit and finish of this product. After two weeks worth of e-mails back and forth between Colgan and Autoanything it was finally determined that the product is in fact a bra that fits the 2004-2005 "Mazdaspeed MX5" aka "Mazdaspeed Miata." The order was placed and after a few calls was received one month later due to the fact that it had to be made for the car, something that was not mentioned at the time of purchase. It was supposed to be shipped 2 m,onths after the date of purchase bnut I had advised autoanything that was not acceptable. When it did come in I was very happy with the fit and finish is excellent and would recommend the product to anyone. The materials are nice and thick."

"Echoing other comments, it's a bit tough to get on but looks great once it's warmed and stretched out. Would have liked "specific directions" for attachment points under the hood for my car, but we made it through with the generic info."

RX-7 Convertible Colgan Bra Review

Posted on 01/27/2006 by Kristine B. - 1990 Mazda RX-7 (Pleasanton,CA)

"Mostly high quality materials, excellent fit. Fender clips covered in felt have loose threads coming out of the material already! These seams should have been stitched together so that this would not happen. Compared to "LeBra", the Colgan Bra is far superior. LeBra sells one version for the RX-7, as a result the fog lights bra openings are in the wrong place for the convertible, but Colgan understands there are subtle, yet important differences and has produced a bra that is truly custom for the RX-7 convertible. Also the pop up headlamp covers are a much better design on Colgan, which I expect will keep the light covers more securely attached without worrying about the covers coming off during highway speeds. Moreover, since the headlamp covers are attached to the main bra section, you don't have to worry about losing them, if they were to come off during driving. Colgan's Felt backing is far superior to the backing on LeBra, so it will do a much better job of protecting the car's finish. The design of the hood bra piece is also superior and avoids the many separate pieces and straps that the Le Bra version has. In summary: superior design, superior materials. But disappointed on the felt clip design that is already detracting from the bra's appearance with numerous white threads exposed."

Not enough screen

"This is a nice snug bra, the best quality I have ever purchased. I am only disappointed in that there is no screen on the bottom portion allowing bugs to enter the radiator area. In the south, that creates a problem with love bugs."

Colgan Bra review for Lexus RX 330

Posted on 01/27/2006 by Richard L. - 2005 Lexus RX 330 (Pearland,TX)

1 of 1 people found the following review helpful.

"Overall, the instructions were adaquate. The lower piece of the bra fits in most locations. The position of some clips did not fit in the right place, but I was able to adapt. The top piece of the bra was even harder to put on. The piece didn't fit the hood at all. I had about an inch gap on both front edges of the hood. Luckily it didn't look too bad from a distance. Overall, it's a good buy. Just make sure you leave it out in the sun to expand or you'll have a hard time putting it on."

Looks great..some problems

Posted on 01/26/2006 by Tom K. - 2006 Toyota Avalon (Murrieta,CA)

"The Colgan bra looks very good. It is a higher quality than most dealers offer. It was pretty easy to put on. Just a little stretching needed, however some of the connector hooks that attach to the wheel wells were bent at the incorrect angle and would not hold. I had to bend them with pliers to get it to hold."
