After a closer look at my front bumper this may be a pointless idea.....
Its already a little rough looking up close. I may clay bar it and have a different outlook though.

It seems to be cheaper to re-paint than get the 3M clear anyhow.
I can guarantee though that if I ever had to repaint then I would do the bra as well.

Yeah it's probably a little late for clear bra. I wouldn't do it until after a repaint personally. Most people do it once they buy a new car.

Can't tell you how badly I wish I had done it when I bought my car.

Mine was installed by Tinted Atmospheres
the pattern included the front fascia, hood, side mirrors, trunk area and door edges...$675

Personally, i would stay away from the 3M products. They are prone to scratching & discoloring. The 3M products are also twice as thick as most of the others. For me, having the protection and as invisible as possible was key. The 3M stuff just doesn't hold up as well as the Llumnar or Johnson materials.

There is also a newer film on the market that has a reactive surface to it...I personally tested it..just scratch with a wire brush then pour warm water over it...scratches gone! VERY pricey tho

I think I may pass on this until I NEED re-paint and then go for it!
