I had my CY done for $750. They did the front bumper, half the hood, headlights, A-pillars and mirrors, plus a section in front of the rear wheels - think 911. It is by far the best investment I have made for my Z. I've got 19K on her and not a chip anywhere.

I had mine done in Ft Walton, Fl.

I had the FULL hood, bumper, full front 1/4s, A-pillars, and mirrors done. It was $1300, but well worth it. Ive already had two knicks on the hood and one on a fender, as well as a couple of spots on the bumper that woulda been really bad, but are just minor blemishes on the clear bra that disppear with a simple waxing.

Why? Do you have one on your car? Have you ever had one installed? If you did, what issues did you have? I have owned many sports cars in my life and this is the first one that I installed the bra on. I will never have a new car in the future that doesn't have a clear bra. I detest chips in my paint and the bra fixes that 100%

I was just saying that in general they are slightly more noticeable on darker cars especially if there are any imperfections

It is more noticeable on the Black. Most people don't even notice it unless you point it out to them. The other problem is when you wax the car, the polish can collect by the line. Other than that small issue, it was really a good investment.
