Opinions on Clear Bra
 
My car's brand new and I am thinking about getting a Clear bra put over the front. Repainting it is a costly process when it does chip from road rocks that I'd like to avoid.

My options are:
Do nothing till I feel I have to repaint.
Just get the basic front portions done, Front fender, mirrors, front sides for about a grand.
Get the whole front half done hood and sides for about 500 more.

If you do a lot of highway driving I would suggest buying the half kit. 95% of the rock chips will be on the front/lip/mirrors/front 25% of hood.

The other small errant chips you can always touch-up.

If you do mostly city driving where there will not be many items kicked up by larger vehicles, or if you plan on possibly getting a kit down the line, go with a repaint in the future.

I done the full front, mirrors, and bikini cut on the hood, and 24" back on the fenders, also had them add about an 8 inch wide piece right above the windshield. I have heard alot of things hit and fly off and so far it seems to be more then enough. The piece above the windshield also catches a lot of bugs so im glad I had them put it up there.

This is a must for these cars the paint sucks.

Get the entire done. Full hood, fenders, mirrors, and front lights. Should cost around $1300 - $1500.

Thanks for the feedback thus far, defiantly going to do something, but leaning towards just doing the front basics.
