    After reading the ton of information here on installed aftermarket invisible bras, and not wanting to pay the $400-700 for that, I've come to believe a conventional bra for the front of my new car might be a better alternative for my uses. I've had one before, but it was back in the 80's for a 3-series BMW. (I tried searching priuschat, but "bra" can't be searched due to the limitations of vB forums).

    Anyway, who here uses a bra cover? what can you tell me about them? Good/bad brands and retailers?

    Thanks!

    Oh, and the big new scratch in the front of my V is fueling this thread. Aarghhh. :mad:

    Try contacting Colgan. I remember "back in the day" those guys made top quality stuff. :)

    Hmmm. So I just looked at their 2004-2009 version, and it covers only about 10% of the front. Not so much protection as a band of black across the lower hood.

    What I'm looking for would cover the front bumper area/spoiler as well.

    I plan on getting a push-up bra for my 2010. That way I won't have to worry about hitting the curb when parking.:rockon:

    check instylegraphics.com they make clear bras. I really hate the leather black bras. They damage and scratch your car. This clear bra is pretty much invisable to the eye but will protect just as well from rocks and normal paint ware.

    Can't seem to find instylegraphics on the web. I also tried googling, and none of the results resolved to anything but error pages.
