Default Colgan Custom Full Bra install

Not as tough as I thought it would be. I think because of all the horror stories that I have read of people installing the bra's made this one pretty easy and straight forward. This the full Carbon Fiber print version for a 2008 RX 400h

Looks nice. No, they are not really all that hard to get on with a good design on the right vehicle. Have run them in the past. A bear to get on in vehicles such as those with pop-up headlights. Stopped the practice. Reason why was due to the amount of debris which got underneath from the rains and wind.

Nice! Where did you get this? I'm a big fan of car bras-- to me, they look stylish and are practical at the same time. They protect against rocks and pebbles and the bug deflector disrupts the air flow enough to keep a good amount of bugs from splattering on your windshield. I used to have them on my cars in the past. It looks great on a 400h, so it would look great on my RX 350. The only draw back is that you can't use the headlight washers. But that's fine.

@ Henry2024 I went to: Colgan's homepage and just ordered it through them. http://www.colgancustom.com/colgan_original_bra.html

It took some time to arrive, uhh about 3 weeks or so. I just took my first 4 hour drive with it on and man oh man was I glad I had it. The fit was nice and actually received a lot of compliments on it, even from some who don't like bra's.

Oh and I forgot to say, the Directions in black and white and pictures that are not the 400h are terrible. You kind of have to lay it out and work from there. That is what took the most time. Now that I have done it and taken it off. I imagine it will be a 10 minute job to get back on, instead of the hour it took trying to read the directions and make since of what was sent to me.

Thanks!!!

It's irritating going on a long drive and coming back home with chips in the paint on the hood and grill from rocks and pebbles from the interstate.

You can also put a clear bra on it which is nearly invisible and protects it as well. I have that on mine.
