I bought a cheap one off eBay. I think it was $70 and had a Porsche part number. It had the velco straps that needed to be used under the weather striping in the trunk. I think this is to make sure there is no movement of the bra. I used it on my road trip to the Parade. I made sure I removed it when it rained and then wiped both sides down at night and let dry. When installing it the next day, I made sure the car was clean. I found that the straps over the fenders did leave faint marks on the first couple of days. I polished the marks out and add applied a coat of wax. I then used 2" painters tape on the fenders under the strap areas. You can see the tape on the second pic. After 4000 miles, it did not leave any marks whatsoever and the front end was perfect. The vinyl bra may be old school, but worked perfectly for me and I would use it again.

 

Great idea to use the painters tape. I hae a bra I use on road trips as well and painters tape is a little xtra protection.

 

Ah great shot overlooking Lunada Bay...one of the best surf spots anywhere. Miss it at times.

I've got a MagBra, which is no longer made. I haven't used it for about eight years. It protects the front half of the trunk and around the headlights but not the front bumper cover or sides of the front fenders like a Colgan. The same clean car use precautions apply.

Send me an email address if you're interested and I'll send you a few photos.

 

I have a brand new never used factory bra available. It came with the car when I bought it. I'm in Toronto. Send me email if interested. Thanks.

Interesting, this bra business. I am based in Europe and I have never, ever seen a car with a bra fitted on it. Not once.

 

I've driven quite a bit in Europe, and a) roads are typically in better shape, unlike our deteriorating system and b) with the terrain in the Western US, there a lot of small rocks and sand that can take its toll. So, I don't find fault with someone who looks to use a bra on a cross-country trip. Simply my observations.

 

I've only driven in the eastern part of the US, and eastern parts of Canada. I was really quite impressed by the road standards, although I never really strayed off the beaten tracks. Not at all a judgement on the use of bras, wish I had one myself on recent trips from Vienna to Italy and to Budapest (although in the latter instance a permanent umbrella would have been more appropriate).

 

I have a Colgan bra in excellent condition. Used only a handful of times . Comes with Porsche logo bag. $75 . PM me if interested.

 

I much prefer the no-bra look....

 

Thanks everyone for sending your offers and /or comments, they were well appreciated and just shows the different views on a simple concept!!!

Chuck found me a Bra on Ebay for $75.00 and it was an original Porsche 993 Factory Bra, great price, I had it shipped to his house and he installed it for me so when I got there everything was installed and ready to go.

I didn't however follow advice of not washing with the Bra on, there was just so much road grime it needed a rinse on a couple of occassions. The Bra is now off and there does not appear to be any damage to the paint from the water under the Bra since it has been raining off an on the past couple of days and never really had a chance to dry out, most of the rain came at night so we lucked out with overcast days following.

Car will get a good buffing when I arrive home on the 14th but for now the Bra will go back on to complete my journey to Halifax, another 1400 Miles. . .

It really protected the front of the car, there were many times where there was a lot of dust and grime from the road as well as chips flying out of pickups so I was grateful to have it on.

I added a cool Pic we took in front of Denny's, a Retro-Look Diner, everything was so shiny and clean with so much detail, I thought the car would look good beside it and show of the Bra that worked so well for the trip. . .
