Looks great in the photo.

Things like rock chips, or my slightly, slighty, non-level deck... usually its only the owner who really notices the subtle imperfections!

I had the XPEL clear bra installed. Really nice, a friend suggested it - he had one on his G35 (traded for an M35 - has one installed on it too). Where do you live? If in the St. Pete/Tampa Bay FL area, I can shoot you the business name that installed it.

Thanks for the offer. I live in Alberta, Can. Maybe it would make a great road trip!

Well, just kidding. I was in St. Pete once years ago with my wife and kids, we had a great time. Do you know if the protection is removable like some stripes/decals? I should just stop talking about it and do it.

Dont know if you ever got an answer but 3M makes a clear protective product that has a sticky backing and you can put it on the front of the hood. Thats what it is designed for. A lot of Street rod guys use it to protect their expensive paint jobs. Ask the guys at an auto body supply store for it.

I bought the light protection film from this site. http://www.clearmask.com/index_v2.html
I installed it a few weeks ago and It went on easy. They do have a full front kit but I think it should be professionally installed because of all the contours.

How did the invisble bra turn out? Did it lay down over your stripes?
