I haven't seen one of these for a while. If you know the name of a company who makes them you could check with them to see if they plan to offer one. Just a guess but I would think it's a long shot.

Try emailing Colgancustom@covercraft.com

I just sent them an email to see if they intend on making their Original Bra for the 2013 ES300h & 350. They are in So. Cal. and currently looking for someone with a 2013 GS to create the mold from, that person will get the bra for free.

Default Bras are useless Concept

Personally, I think the bras are a ridiculous concept. The idea of protecting the front of the car by covering it with something ugly serves no purpose. What good is hiding the beauty of the car to protect someone you will never see cause it is hidden by the bra.

As an owner I want to enjoy the look of the car and not hide it. If you do it to protect the resale value then buy gold, but enjoy the car don't hide it.

They're meant for long highway road trips, where you expect rocks and bugs to be prevalent. Only supposed to be used temporarily and not left on the car permanently.

That's why I got a clear bra. The best of both worlds - protects the front while still showing the beauty of the car. Getting rock chips and nicks on the freeway is inevitable without some protection.

That thought came across when I first read that too.

I'll be doing a few 12 hour roads trips this year. I will either plasti-dip the front or use a roll of painters tape.

Painter's tape??? Really?

With all that effort, you might as well just rent a car.

Use the old poor mans trick: spray Pam on the front end. It should take care of the bugs on the front and maybe it'll do some good on rock rash too. Then you can wash it off at the end of your road trip.

We take our cars on driving trips all of the time without a bra or tape and have never had any major problems from doing so. Drive the car and enjoy it. They aren't museum pieces, if something happens, that's why they are called accidents.
