Default Nose bra fit

I ordered and recieved a Colgan nose bra for my s2k with front spoiler. When installing, I find it does not fit cleanly on the sides by the wheel wells. It has clips that do not hold secure nor appears it would hold in driving. Has anyone else faced this situation..or knoiw a better fitting bra? I will likely return it as I am not satisfied with the fit and appearance.

The top two clips actually go in between the metal of the front quarter panel and the plastic wheel well liner. Took me a couple tries to figure that out. The little plastic thing they give you is to seperate the plastic from the metal without scratching. The bottom-most of the 5 clips hangs somewhat loose on mine, but as long as everything else is attached it stays firmly in place.

Note that I don't have the front spoiler, so this may be causing you some grief.

My came off at higher speed. I will have to bend the clips to get them tighter.

Don't use a bra. Bra's will only ruin your pain. You will be sorry you ever put the damn thing on.

The solution is to move to Arizona, where we have no bugs, no mud, and no rain. The front bumper of the Eclipse GT I just traded in for my new S2000 looked like the day I bought it back in 2000. I expect the same on the S2000.

I agree with WestSideBilly, including the "it's ugly" part. My Colgan bra fits ok, especially after the mod to put the material in the middle of the headlight cluster. I used one on my '84 RX7 for most of the time I had the car. The front end was like new until I sold it. You just have to take care to clean it well every time you wash the car and make sure it's fitting tightly.
