Has anyone had their lenses crack ? Wondering if the $60 is worth it to protect the headlights and foglights with a clear film. 2 companies are out there with a $1000 breakage guarantee.

www.stoneguard.com

I think both lenses are plastic but....probably $300+ to replace.

I have read of others having cracked lenses. They are EXTREEMLY expensive to repair. The $60 would be a good investment if you ask me.

I went ahead and ordered it.
It's a clear film that is applied over the lenses and guaranteed not to break with a 120 MPH rock thrown at it....even if they do break, its covered up to $1000.

So I spent the $64 (including shipping) to make myself feel a little safer...I wouldn't want anything happening to those beautiful lenses.....well maybe the projector beam like the 02 ML has would be cool but....what the heck...I guess that's for 03 ??
