Im thinking about painting it but honestly, once you repaint a car it's never as good/durable as the original factory. Plus I can live with the current chips in it (as long as I can touch them up). Will a clear bra really magnify the chips?

Sure it can, if not better. It just depends on where you get it done and how much you want to pay.

I guess the chips don't bother me enough to rack up a couple thousand dollar bill for a good paint job and a clear bra.

Here are the quotes I got today:
Zeibart (VentureShield)
$699- Bumper kit installed
$950- Hood, fenders and mirror kit installed
$1,649 for everything

Local shop I found on 3M's site:
$450- Bumper kit installed
$330- Hood, fenders and mirror kit installed
$780 for everything

I feel like Zeibart is trying to bend me over! $869 difference?!?! Anyways, I'm thinking I'll touch up the chips now and get a clear bra now. Then in a couple years have the whole bumper and hood repainted again (w/clear bra).
