Am I making sense? What I don't want is a bunch of dents in the plastic bumper or have the film return to its original shape and have a hollow area between the film and the indention in the plastic. Is the film worth it in this case?

Thoughts?
Just ordered my clear bra installation this afternoon. I'm getting hood, fenders mirrors, etc but not the bumper due to the leap in price with it. I'm getting mine done for $250 and will not tailgate. I'll garage my Z all winter,keep the touch-up paint handy and hope for the best..
