Front end Bra for GT/CS
We ordered a Bra from Colgan for the Shelby GT, got it today, installed and it fits great. One mod to mention, the Shelby GT has a tubular grill, the bra has hooks for this, we took a short bungee cord and put it across the grill, hooked the bra hooks to it and that completed the install.
We bought the carbon fiber printed bra, it looks great, IMO, now we can head to Pensacola MCA show this weekend and ot worry about front end damage.

One question, did you place the bungee cord across the grill or through the grill? I "assumed" it would go across the from side to side from reading your post.

front end bra
I'm new here so forgive me if I don't use the correct online etiquette here. I have a black gt/cs I put a clearcoat bra over it. It works great, it is hard to tell if it is on. It allows sunlight through so if you have to take it off, it will look like the rest of the paint. I have had it on my stang for a whole year now, no problems. The only catch is it does not cover the facia between the lights and the bumber. I was told that they do not have the pattern for the cs, just the gt.

The bungee is approx 8 inches, slight hook modification to open up the hook bends,
inserted at the second grill opening from the bottom edge of grill, next to the fog lights.
the angle allows the hook coils to rest in the grill opening below, no excessive tension
on the plastic grill, except the non-contrasting color of bungee used, you would think that it was part of the bra package.

i bought the bra from colgan (carbon fiber), i think its definitely worth the money. Its good quality, holds on tight, and definitely saved my front end from bugs/tar/rock chips on my last trip down to NC and back (from norther VA).

Steved,
Great looking ride. How are you attaching the middle 2 hooks in the front grill area?
Or did you trim them off of the bra entirely?
Just curious.

I have a black gt/cs. I use a clearcoat bra. You cannot tell it is on untill you get close, you dont have an (my opinion) ugly leather thing over your car which will leave a mark on you stang! It covers the front quarter of the car, People do not know it's there unless I show them. I have had it on for over a year, no chips on my front end. Just thought you might want this as a feasible alternative!

one question for you. I see that you painted you calipers, I would like to do the same. Did you have any problems? do you have advice on how to do it. Thanks Jayhawk78

Came in today..
The bra finally arrived today. It appears to be a quality product, unlike the Made in China pos for the Jeep GC, which we don't even use.
However, I can't try it on yet, as it is to cold, and we are in the middle of a winter storm advisory for tonight and tomorrow. Hopefully, winter will end soon....

No the bra does not rub anything, at least not on our car.
We went to pensacola MCA show and back and have driven the car since then, no problems, other than cleaning the bug splatters of of the carbon fiber print outer shell.

I received my Colgan Front-end bra and installed it the other night, VERY pleased with the fit and ease of installation, "fits like a glove" looks great on my Black GTCS, definitely worth the extra money.
