Wow, I just got one from them earlier this year.:(

I'm trying to think if there are any others that are of a similar style. Perfect Fit bras are the best in my opinon though.

Did they say they didn't have ANY bras or just any crawler style bras? Because I used to have the half bra from them and it fit really well as well...but this time around I forgot to tell them I wanted the half bra and ended up with a crawler - I do like the crawler after all.

If Perfect Fit isn't an option...
Check out Colgan.
Colgan Custom Car Bra and Truck Bras

We got a T-Bra (crawler) for our Honda Element last year and it seems to be made well and has held up pretty good. Can't say about the fit on the beetle though. I know they custom make every bra, don't have stock - so there is a little wait unless you pay to expedite. From the looks of their site it only allows you to choose TurboS, but that should be the only option. I'd give them a call, when I did about the Element they were really friendly and worked with me when I was trying to get a rush order.

Thanks - cool!

I agree with the "why can't they dissect one" theory.
The only part that is different from the half to the crawler was the hood piece, not that complicated.

Yeah, Colgan has the T-Bra...that's what they call it. Don't know about how it attaches for the lower portion and what the fitment is around the lights though.

I knew someone that had a Wolf that had fitment issues. I ride with mine on the car all the time so the Perfect Fit bra is what I like because there isn't any sagging at the headlight area. I don't think I would touch a LeBra, never seen anyone with a beetle that had one.

Good luck, tell us what you end up with.

Thanks for the quick reply Antoine. I've been admiring your Marvin for some time now. You were actually my inspiration to use the T-style bra. So does Colgan make a T-style bra? I've looked at their website and never noticed one before. I'll have a look again now.

P.S. I just used your eyelid template to make some cutouts for my new beetle last weekend. Thanks!

Grest to hear.

You can probably find the half bra pictures of Marvin throughout my Marvin Photo gallery here on the org, but I added the crawler style when I got it replaced before Roswell this year.

Good choice! I've always thought that the Perfect Fit bra lived up to its name. I had always run the half bra since 2weeks of owning my car because of rock chips from that first two weeks. When I got the crawler by mistake, I thought about it and decided to change styles and I really like it.
