With all the crap on our streets for about 1/2 the year, i wouldn't even think of driving a decent car w/o clear bra. You might as well go sign up for a major sandblasting without it.

I have clear bra applied on all my cars. It's important to find a good installer and looking at the various films on the market. Some may prefer the way Avery Nanofusion may look and some may like the way Xpel Ultimate looks, etc. Suntek makes great self-healing PPF film as well.
A lot of people refer to 3M which used to be the industry standard, but in reality 3M is great, but it has a lot of orange peel which is something to consider. Don't cheap out on install jobs either and find a quality installer, the last thing you want is cut marks all over your paint from an installer's knife from cutting the material. A quality installer will know what he or she is doing.
On my 997TT I have full custom cut Xpel Ultiimate on entire hood, bumper, fenders, all the lights, lip, roof, pillars, rear quarter panels, rockers, etc. I was going to wrap the entire car but I opted to just do a very extensive coverage, you cannot tell as the headlights, crest, were all removed prior to install.

My whole car is wrapped as well. My 997.1 turbo is silver, the wrap gave it a slightly darker tone, which I really like. It's been doing its job really well over the past 7 years.
wrapping only the front is like using a condom that only covers the tip of your junk... Just saying..

Well as expected I don't see a single thing lol. So how is the maintenance of the clear bra? What do you do with the swirls? Or does the self healing xpel get rid of swirls?
I remember when I saw a clear bra it had huge *** swirls in it. Like super bad ones.
What exhaust did you switch to by the way?
