I have a new 2008 Prius and bought a Colgan Bra (standard type 2 pc). Anyone out there that has an 08 and can offer any advice before installing.. I checked the fit-up and it looks like it will not fit well..

Comments welcomed...

I'm had the 3M clear bra on my 05 Prius since new. It has performed well and has not peeled, faded, or gotten cloudy. I'm extremely happy with it. I had in installed in SWFL for 150 bucks.

I also just purchased the same bra for my 2008 Touring. Confused about the strap and "s" hook in the fender well. Did you figure anything out?

A Prius with a bra is a beautiful thing! I hear Victoria's Secret is making a Prius Angel bra soon...not! Since I drive 40k+miles/yr, it has saved me from touching up all the little dings. My only regret is that I didn't get the bra on day one.

I take it off in the spring (after the winter salt mess is over), clean it out, usually leave it off for a month or two just for a change, and put it back on. It stays on my car 10 or 11 months a year and I take it off maybe twice to clean under it during that time. There is no damage such as clouding, etc. It is the Toyota brand and it is very easy to take on and off(5-10 minutes)once the initial one hour install is done.

It looks great, fits tight, and keeps my car clean on the front. I wax it whenever I take it off with Zaino and I think it's just a personal preference. If my car was back, I would probably go with the clear 3M stuff since there is no contrast.

The problem for those of us with newer cars Raven is that Toyota does not have a bra in stock. Their is no part number for a bra from toyota that fits the newer cars.

Even the Colgan bras seem to have issues fitting properly- from posts I have seen. The 3M stuff is just too expensive.

*sigh*

I have the LeBra set got it off Ebay for under $50 or right around there with shipping. It was simple to put on didn't take me long at all until DH saw it and said No, take it off! He didn't like the way it looked so I managed to keep the hood cover on but the bottom is off! I just wanted it for protection of the paint, but guess DH doesn't mind chips!!

As i think we choose always soft stuff for inner garments. The tankini is two separate pieces so there is no riding, no pinching and no cutting into your skin.
