I say yes. Even though it is somewhat visible, it still looks better than stone/rock chips.

Everyone on here talking about "the line"... think about this. Would you rather have a line you have to look for to see or would you rather have big f-ing rock chips you can't fix. It's the biggest no brainer in the history of the world.

get the whole hood and whole front quarter panels done. If you are in the Bay, get it from Premier. No doubt the "premier" source for clear bras. No lines and the stuff they use is darn transparent. Our insurance claims division use them all the time and no issues whatsoever. We've used 6 or 7 companies from Central California all the way up to Sacramento, and simply no one better imo

I have use Greg Sims at Forcefield and he's done a great job on all my cars and friends as well. His prices are a lot more reasonable too. He uses ventureshield as well.

What is the average price for 3m film installed? I want to do the whole front bumper, 1/4 of the hood, and re-do the part in front of the rear tires. I was quoted $950

Wasn't me. I haven't even been to Santana Row yet. Wanna go soon though.

You can have my wheels for $10k. I'll get them signed if that helps.

Agreed, and anyone who would argue otherwise their points to not get clear bra, would just be flat out dumb LOL!

Liking it or not, is an opinion. Deciding it is needed or not, is an opinion. Thinking you have the only right opinion, is an idiot.

Hah, I must say I like that

Bottom line is, the way I see it. What would you rather have, rock chips and debris damage all over, which will result in repainting and spending money/loss of resale value anyway, or clear bra and not worrying? That was my point!
