Default Colgan Carbon Fiber Bra Pic

Heres a pic of the Colgan Carbon Fiber on my car. I like it how about you guys? It is well made fits pretty tight. Needs to lay out a bit but it has been cold and rainy here in PA. Got nice today and a great weekend coming.

Looks good, is it easy to put on and take off?

Great look! Who sells this...I did a quick internet search and did not turn up anything under "Cologan Carbon Fiber" or "Cologan".

Also, there appear to be a fine cloth mesh over the main portion of the grill. If this is the case and if anyone has experience in using this bra, does it significantly restrict the air flow to the radiator?

But a very nice tight look!

Looks exactly the same as the Chrysler OEM bra except with the OEM bra, the headlight cutout is all one hole. After you replace eight screws (2 on the bottom, 3 in each wheel well) with snap-screws, the OEM bra fits like a glove and goes on or off within 2 minutes. The mesh in the front stops bugs and debris from entering the radiator and doesn't re-strict airflow. OH yea, the OEM bra has two smaller air deflectors on the top vice the one piece on the Cologan. The only bad part is that the OEM bra is/was $143.00 two years ago. You might be able to get one aftermarket like the Cologan for less.

the COLGAN bra can be found on ebay. i got mine last summer for a road trip from Seattle to central Oregon. i think i paid around $100-110 for the item including shipping. the fit was perfect and snug enough everywhere so that there was nothing flapping in the breeze. it does take about 15-20 min. to install (the tabs that secure the outer edges of the bra have to be wedged between the fender lip and the plastic fender liner) you have to loosen the fender liner screws, but it was wonderful to return from the trip, remove the bra, and not have a mark on the front of the car. if you like, i could look through the stack of receipts (i have to keep buying stuff for the pt!) and get you in info on where i purchased the colgan bra.
money well spent--best investment (after blane's struts)

It was 109.00 to the door free shipping. I will post a link when I find it. It is the heavyiest bra I have ever seen. Flannel lined and fits like a glove. Got 303 SpaceAge protectant for keeping it. Cool stuff, SPF 40 for your tires and bra. Will not clog it and will still breath. Never any Armor All and any thing like that. I talked to Colgan direct and you do not loosen your screws, you use a little plastic strip to pry the wheel well liner out and slide the tabs in. I have been running it for a while now and no issues.
