If you want OEM (which I strongly recommend) you can order one from your local Chrysler Dealership.

You should do a search on 'bra' as you'll find a decent discussion on the item.

Downside is that over time you are subject to wear and possible scuffing of Clearcoat and your paint job. Also, it's a hassle to keep the area clean under the bra (dirt & debris).

If you think the Black Bra look is kool, then go for it.

If your goal is more along the lines of protecting the frontend, bumper, and headlights, my prefered solution is a 'Clear Bra", and specifically the 3M Brand ( 3M Scotchgard clear bra).

I put the Clear on my car and love it, it rocks (pardon the pun)...

Also, check out this link if you want additional info on the 3M Clear Bra (there are also some kool pix of exotics getting a full body wrap):

you will find that the colour of your hood will be 2 different shades from the scuffing..........think of what a woman looks like when she takes her bathing suit off after sunning. the area covered by the bra is not the same colour as the rest.

i think that makes a great visual. no more explanation needed.

I've had a bra on the roadster since it was new and there is no discoloration. Caveat - it is garaged when not in use and usually under a car cover. Also, I put several extra coats of wax under the bra and remove it regularly to clean under it, plus I take it off when storing the car for the winter. Furthermore, I rarely run the Crossie in the rain so very little crap gets under the bra. Now I have discovered a couple very light wear marks down low on the grill, but they are less noticeable than rock dings of which there are none. And, if I don't like the look of the bra or want to show the car, it comes off in less than two minutes. Going back on takes a little longer, but not much.
