HI all, I know most don't like the look of a bra on the Turbo front end, but I like it. I'm looking for a bra for my car. I've got mirror covers with the Porsche crest epoxied to them and am hoping there's a bra that matches it. If not a plain bra or one with an embossed logo is good too.

Travis?... do you happen to have one??

Won't do paypal but can send a USPS money order.

Thank you.

I have a brand new factory bra in the Porsche box. Includes Porsche logo storage case and installation instructions. I don't believe it's ever been installed.
I'd like to get $150 for it but prefer paypal.

That bra retails, according to the web for about $147.99. Online from $99 to $125. Thank you, but I may have found one.

I would really like one with a hood badge on it. Not embossed. My mirrors have small badges on them. Did a bra like that ever exist for the 951? I guess maybe not because I got the mirror bras from a 911...

Was that for an OEM bra?
If so, I'll have to adjust my price to get rid of it.
Glad you found one.

You may have to modify the one you got to add the metal crest.
I'd think unless you pad the backside under the crest, the header panel would get scratched up, negating the need for a bra.

I put in the Porsche part number and several sites came up, Vertex was one of them and another site listed them as if they were factory parts.

The badges on my mirror are epoxied on. No back button or anything on them. So far no one has tried to steal them. I have to remove the mirror covers when I feel the area may not be a good place for someone to take them... Their size is about 1/2 the size of the hood emblem....

the turbo and S2 bras are different. the straps on the bottom are different. i have an S2 bra in my garage. $60 shipped but you fix the strap that dragged when i had it on my turbo.

different? ohh boy.... nothing's easy on this car.... I thought the noses were the same... What's the difference?

any pictures of it??

PorscheDude1

I did not know there was difference either...

Can't be for an OEM, has to be for a knock off. Last time I looked for an OEM (and actually found one) it was close to $300 with the storage bag.

AND there is a BIG difference in fit and finish for an OEM vs. aftermarket bra.....and not in a good way.

Your price of $150 w/ bag and not previously installed is a very good deal IMO.

Yea, that's kinda of of what I thought. I figured the OP had come across a wolf or cologen.
Thanks.

Now, what about those differences between S2 and turbo nose? I never knew this.

Tom R.

the plastic undertrays are different hence, the straps that go under the bumper and attach to the undertrays are different lengths.

PorscheDude1

I never knew this. Thanks Tom.

i didnt either until i drove to pocono with the s2 bra on the turbo and saw the strap dangling without the clip. i thought it was tight enough.
