I have a Colgan front cover that I purchased last year and I am very 
happy with it-except for one thing. I cannot get the cover tight enough 
across the bottom by the spoiler so that the cover lifts up a bit and 
gets pushed into the intake in the center. Leaves only a very small area 
unprotected but it annoys me. I will have a trim shop add a strap to fix 
the problem. Other than that it does not flap at speed at all-up to 
120mph anyway (that's as far as I've gone). Their covers are well made, 
with a thick lining for the backing. Takes 5 mins to install-if that. 

Got mine from Blue Ribbon Motoring Accessories for $90 +ship. I believe 
that you can order just the hood piece as well, but I do not know what it 
costs. 800-874-8888 or email at blueribn@adnc.com
