What type are you looking for? I have a one piece that you can have for cheap if you like. I'll dig it out and get the specifics on model, etc.
BTW, they are not the same depending on if you have a front spoiler.

I have one that fits an 84-89 Turbo. The seller I bought from said it fit 84-89 Carrera's, but the sides are just a little long. My Carrera has the chin spoiler and it still is just a little loose. I only have the bottom part that goes over the bumper and not the part that goes on the hood. If someone's interested, let me know. I can send a picture.

If you use a bra it must stay dry otherwise pitting will occure in paint, such as on hood.

Ask me how I know ('85 911) !

Pretty sure the one I have is a 1 piece with fog light & plate openings.it will also be for a car w/ a chin spoiler.

The only time I use my bra is on track days. Make that dry track days. There is no quicker way to screw up nice paint than to leave a bra on permanently, IMO.

Thanks, ga

These bras are quite good (I use those by Colgan on my 911s) as long as you take reasonable precautions like taking it off routinely when the car is subject to dew, rain, etc. It will help keep impact damage to a minimum if you take the time to use it. Not all bras are created equally.

sorry,
but all bras should be removed,
and thrown on the floor.
Just like the straw in your gin and tonic.
sissy sticks and bras...........sheesh

I still have the bra off of my 1986; its a Colgan and barely used (a couple of track days 10 years ago). Has openings for the fog lights and clear cover over the license plate.
I don't think the chin spolier makes a difference for the bra.
Why do I feel dirty typing this?

I have always liked the Mag Bra as I find the leather bras damage the paint on a car. Just my $.02 though.
