I have a clear bra on my '08. I believe the brand I have is called ventureshield. It was about $500 installed. But it looks nice.
The only thing I regret is not getting the stripes painted. They are currently vinyl with the bra over the top. At just the right angle, there is a clear line next to the each strip, where the bra goes up from the body to the stripe. But it is only from a certain angle.

Ok, price seems to be the only downside. The clear bra is a significant jump in price from the traditional black ones. I've been able to find do-it-yourself kits online for about $350. Of course, that's about what it will cost to have my current dings and chips repaired and painted.

So true! I commute 80 miles each way down I85 South, and 50 solid miles of that are under construction with a 50 mph speed limit.

With the way people drive around here i wish i had an entire sheild for my car.
I commute to school which consists of a short drive down 75 (exit 216 to 201) and in that short distance i have to put up with some terrible drivers. People always like to cut right in front of me (which resulted in a crack in my windshield i still need to fix)

Clear bra is definitely the way to go if it's in the budget. I got the complete nose, 18" on hood and fenders for $480. It cost me right at $500 to repair the nose and hood on my 2005 from rock chips and "Love Bug" damage. Those from Central and South Florida know what I am talking about with the "Love Bugs"
