    Welcome to PriusChat! Here's a picture of the mini-bra-thingy (Sports-bra? Training-bra?) on my 2009 Gen II

    - the previous owner had it installed, so it was already on the car when I got it two years ago! It works beautifully, although it does spoil the lines of the hood. You might try the PriusChat Shop. I think the manufacturer is WeatherTech (check their on-line site) - hope this helps - Wil

    you could go with the full bra I saw here: Colgan Car Bra BC5070BC Fits Prius 2012 2013 2014 2015 | eBay

    or you could get what I got: Toyota Prius 2011 2012 2013 2014 Custom Bra Car Hood Mask Bonnet Bra | eBay

    I freaked out because I thought they sent me the wrong model as it has the wrong years on it. So I called and they assured me it was the correct pattern they had on file.

    the installation seemed simple enough, but was frustrated that it wasnt as snug as it looked advertised. HOWEVER, it did take a few days to take proper shape. One of the parts that confused me was the 2 holes in the inside. Had no clue why they were there.

    As you can see, it did not look like it fit the first 2-3 days. (it was pretty cold when I got this here in IL). But I think it would take shape faster as the climate is warmer. And the eBay vendor was extremely tentative. Even offered me a full refund if I wanted.

    So I think after a week, it was finally flush and looked perfect. I liked the look and the unnecessary raised wind deflectors. Kind of gives it a more aggressive look. Anyways... hope this post helped a little. I know its not what most people get. Just wanted my Prius to stand out a bit more as well as cover the paint chips from salt and rock chunks on my hr commutes. Will get paint chips fixed eventually.. but this will do.

    I notice in the instructions it says "the mask should not be kept on the car for more than seven days".

    I have the original toyota clear film protection AND a colgan bra/
    no problems yet (just a few minor cuts on the surface of the colgan bra caused by running over some tumble weeds)

    Well this seems like their lawyers talking. And unfortunately saying: this thing is gonna attract grit, and over time...

    My cell phone case is just like that: pealed it off the other day and there's all this grit in there, and the edges of the phone are looking pretty burnished. Oh well, it at least saves from the shock of the occasional drop.
