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.

Nice Colgan Car Bra

Posted on 05/04/2009 by Julio M. (Jacksonville,FL)

2 of 2 people found the following review helpful.

"I purchased a Le Bar for my 2008 Avalon, and while installing it I found two straps that were too short to be attached by the engine air cowling. The bra construction was fair but not very easy to install. Then I purchased this bra and found the construction and quality to be much better and easier to install. The only problem I found was that two top straps for the face mask which go over the front grill, could not found an good attachment point but found an alternative location to attach these hooks. Other then that it looks very nice and I think I did a good purchase."

bra for Avalon

Posted on 05/03/2009 by Gerald T. - 2009 Toyota Avalon (Bishop,CA)

"It's fair, but the hood part is terrible. I drove us395 with a wind, and every time a car passed in the oppisite direction the thing flapped and flapped and beat the crap out of my hood. it needs a thing on the hood that others have that uses the cars speed to hold the bra flat on the hood. Who's going to reapir my hood?"

"the bra fits good but the bottom of the bra is loose, not enough straps to hold it tight. The hood piece was not used as it looks better without it, maybe I should have ordered it direct from colgan instead of third party as my invoice stated. my make and model were not listed on the invoice."

"Just want to let you know how easy it was to put on the two piece bra for my 09 Toyota Sienna.I refered to the instructions very briefly and with a little common sense and a little pulling (very snug)around the wheelwells for the clips to fit the fender. It was on! The hood piece was even easier. Now I have front protection for the paint from the flying bugs and rocks. What a perfect for my new Toyota! I'm very happy with the Colgan car bar. Thanks Johnny in Elk Grove Ca."

Colgan Car Bra for Mini Cooper S

Posted on 04/24/2009 by Harlow L. - 2008 Mini Cooper (Aransas Pass,TX)

1 of 1 people found the following review helpful.

"Good- Good fit and finish, looks good on and installation was not difficult. Bad- Rotten installation directions and poor ordering description in catalog...."aero package"? We recently began towing our Mini Cooper behind or behemuth of a motor home. On our maiden voyage we realized the poor little lady was being pelted with rocks so we went in search of protection. We had seen things on the front of cars before and learned these were called "bras" We ordered a Colgan bra because it was one of the only manufacturers that had one for a Mini Cooper. The description in the Auto Anything file is very confusing when because when you look at the sub-model you have an option of a Cooper S Hatchback no running lights with "aero package." Well we don't have an aero package but we ordered it anyway and sure enough it fit, Wheew! My initial concern was how difficult it was going to be to install, particularly after I read the rotten directions that came with it. However, once I actually began it probably only took 15 minutes to put both pieces on, rotten directions not withstanding."

Posted on 04/09/2009 by Andrew L. - 2007 Hyundai Elantra (Laramie,WY)

"Instructions did not help much, I didn't expect exact instructions, but I figured it be for a car similar to mine, but it wasn't. Bra took almost an hour to install and just hooked the clips wherever they would fit. Took alot of stretching, but it fits and I am very satisfied with it. Price was a bit extreme especially when my brother got one for his car for half the price."

High Quality; Good Fit; Might Need to Revise Headlight Area

Posted on 04/08/2009 by Arik S. - 2009 Toyota Camry (Clearwater,FL)

3 of 3 people found the following review helpful.

"This bra is good & thick and fits firmly. However, when i tried to install around the headlights, the outer stitching was too thick to slide on. I had to use a plastic paint scraper to gently pry open the gap between the headlight and the sheet metal in order to slip the bra on. I would imageine some shoppers might simply return the bra. Other than that, terrific coverage!"

Mustang GT Convertible- fit/cut issues & imperfections

Posted on 04/08/2009 by Brant S. - 2001 Ford Mustang (Hudson,OH)

"GOOD: The bra finish and material quality is very high. BAD: The fit leaves something to be desired: the fit over one wheel well is different than the other, and is not consistent in its shape (irregular in its curve).... The front license plate opening is tight and square on one side, and round and loose on the other. The hood piece fits better, but the hood-prop opening and other openings on the bottom are cut very large, and still do not fit when the remaining hood piece is installed to fit properly. After install, the bra looks high quality, and the few fit-details can be over-looked. But if these fit details where addressed it would mold like a glove and give a "10" appearance instead of a "7"."

"RECENTLY PURCHASED A 2 PIECE COLGAN BRA FOR 2009 CHEVY HHR LS. FOUND BUILD QUALITY TO BE EXCELLENT. SOME OF THE PHOTOS ON INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS WERE A LITTLE HARD TO MAKE OUT, BUT DIDN`T TAKE LONG TO FIGURE OUT EXACT LOCATIONS. BRA FITS TIGHTLY AND LOOKS VERY GOOD ON CAR. IT IS THE BEST QUALITY BRA THAT I HAVE INSTALLED AND HAVE INSTALLED SEVERAL OVER THE YEARS. WOULD DEFINITELY BUY COLGAN AGAIN."
