Hmmm,

I presume it's because your GS has the headlight washers and they don't make bras for cars with headlight washers. That's my guess anyway.

Hey, if you're only interested in the top portion, you could order the bra from SupraTRD and have it shipped to you. If you do, watch the paint on your hood.

Brian,

Thanks for the offer but i'll be in Chicago in 2 weeks so I will stop by a Lexus Dealer there and pick up the full nose mask for my vehicle. As for the headlight washers my aunt tells me she can do the cut out and fabricate it in such a fashion that you would think it came like that. Wish me luck!

Sasha,

It's not really a video of my car. It's more me on a trip last summer when I brought my Canon GL-1 DV camera along with me. It's interesting for me, and the scenery is nice, but it's not really a cool car video.

Ok when I was in Chicago I picked up the Colgan Custom Bra for the GS400.. It really fits nice and the guy down the street from my already wants to buy it from me for his GS300 when I turn my car in..

Anyways wanted to post a few pictures of it to show the guys and gals who have headlight washers that this nose mask will work.. I think it looks pretty good.. Better than the sand blasted look that my blue paint has taken in the 2 years I have had this car..

BTW, Colgan Bra's are also sold on Carparts.com in case anyone was interested..

Happy Motoring!

Sasha,

If buddy down the street flakes out on me then the bra is all yours.. It cost me $100 CAN (One of my customer's in Arlington hooked me up with a sweet deal since he was buying one for his car as well).. Better than paying $100 US.. But if you really want one badly then check out http://www.carparts.com and put in Colgan as a search or the part number is PR948..

Anyways i'll send you email if he flakes out on the bra!

Talk to you soon!

I understand about wanting your ride to look good, but why not just touch up the chips and leave it at that? I lease mine also and one of the reasons I do is so I don't go overboard about every mark on it. My .02.
I am going to have to agree with Marty here. However you will see fading with the bra as well. Plus why spend the $$ on a lease car, unless you leased it for the next 6 years.
