I've had a few requests to post a photo showing my Colgan Bra with the removable plate installed. This is the combination I use for long road trips in unfamiliar territory. Normally I don't run either a bra or a front plate, but when I do, this combination works really well. The plate assembly doesn't interfere with the bra in any way.



The plate bracket came from Southern Car Parts:

NOTE: The bra was special ordered with no provision for a front plate, because the one I have mounts through the grille opening. The Colgan Bra normally ships configured to accept the awful bumper mounted GM factory plate unless you specify otherwise.

Looks good. I have a Colgan bra for my DD and it's held up well for the last five years. I added a billet aluminum grill to my C6 so I can't use a bra that attaches through the grill opening like the GM factory bra does.

I use the Colgan bra with the Top Flight Repro removable plate holder and they work very well together. Although, I try to avoid using the plate when the bra is on cuz it looks a little odd with the matching color (Monterey Red) plate cover over the license plate.

So you must have had to punch two holes in the bra where it folds into the intake opening, right?

looks good if that is the way you choose to go.

Thanks! I don't choose to go that way all that often. Most days I run without a plate or a bra.

However I just got back from a 2,500 mile loop out through California & Arizona to Tucson and up through Grand Canyon. California highways are crumbling. I ran the bra the whole trip and I'm glad I did. When it came off the paint beneath looked like new and it was still clean.

Now when I toodle around town the car looks pristine instead of like the road warrior it actually is!

I also ran the plate out through the California hinterlands just to avoid the possible hassle of a bored cop with no other reason to stop me. The plate has a clear plastic cover over it. That cover was pitted beyond belief and had one star break from a direct rock impact. That's further evidence of the type of protection the bra offers.

When I'm on a long road trip, nobody knows me anyway. The bra's benefits under those circumstances justify its lack of beauty IMHO.
