We have a 2007 SC, had a 2005 previously. We moved the Honda Element Bra from the 2005 to the 2007...finally got rid of the triangular corners because they decided to come loose once and rub on the paint.
Recently we have noticed that the Genuine Honda Bra is really flapping a lot on the highway, causing marring on the hood...not a cool thing. The elastic straps have lost their elasticity...so there is no more tightening of the OEM bra...so we are looking for advice.
First question - is there any difference in the hood between a 2006 and a 2007....what about SC. I'm thinking no, but wanted to make sure before we ordered.
Second...Colgan - I have heard of them, can't say I have good feelings about them for the New Beetle, but looks like a few Element folks are pleased...are their bras good quality and fit?
Third...thing we are going to go with the T-Style Bra because I also saw that people said that even the Colgan nose bra flopped around like the Honda Bra...anyone have any experience with the T-Style Bra? I have one on my Beetle and love the extra protection...just curious if there were any issues with the straps on the inside of the engine bay.
Thanks!
