Default Clear Bra - goodbye rock chips

I had the 3M Clear Bra installed 2 weeks ago. I didn't post before now to give it time to "settle" and unfog. All I can say is, it's probably the best thing I have done for my car. I only wish I had done it immediately after I took delivery of my car. The installer came to my house and installed the bra in my garage. He was there for almost 6 hours. You could not pay me enough to do his job. Talk about tedious. I am very pleased with the install and was suprised how transparent the material is. If you are not looking for it, you can't see it. I had the entire front of the car done as well as the inside of the door handles. I would post pictures, but frankly, you can't see it in the pictures.....lol....For those of you who travel the highways like I do I can't recommend this product enough. More information about the product can be found at www.xpel.com

I plan to do mine as soon as possible (after it arrives, of course - shut up Ricva05!).
I've been told it's a MUST for daily drivers.

If you have a high megapixel digital camera - take some close ups esp across the racing
stripes.

I would think the first thing one needs to do is to wash, clay, polish and wax it "like you like it" and then have the
install done.

I'm still looking for someone who has had the "polyuerethane" type coating sprayed on. It is supposed
to be the best thing short of a "force field".

Thanks for the "witness"!

Here is one kit:
Bumper and Door Handle Kit
Part Number: P0523A
Our Price: $229.95

But I'm wondering how much for the install? Five stars for the installation difficulty is nasty...

Price info...$800.00 which included installation. I don't suggest you try and install yourself. I covered the following: hood/fenders kit, bumper and door handle kit, upper bumper kit.

I will take som high res pics tonight.

Ouch, but thats the proce you pay for safety.
Installer say how long it will last until needs replacement? 5 years?

Question-
looking on their website dont see any info about removal/replacement- after the 5 yr life can it simply be peeled off without any damage to the paint underneath? just wonder how strong the adhesive is...
