Clear Bra Advice

I'm having my hood and front bumper re-sprayed due to a ton of gravel chips. I want to put on a clear bra to avoid this in the future. Has anyone does this? Any advice? Self install or let the pros do it?

Thanks!

I had mine done by the dealer (via local vendor) at time of delivery. came out very well. Cost was added to purchase price of the car. Had the complete front end done, about 1/4 of the hood, down to the splitter, door inserts and side mirrors. Recommend professionally installed.

Im a invisible mask dealer/installer. Have a pro do it. If you haven't done a few, you will lose your investment.

I had a customer who only wanted to buy the kit from me with no install. Week later he reordered the hood kit $350 value and had me install this time

My buddy has his own business doing this. He does all the local dealers and private party, this is not for the inexperienced!

Wrap the whole front clip (not 1/4 up the hood and fenders). If installed cleanly it will be virtually invisible. My car is black and most people don't even know its there until I mention it.

Thanks!
Let the pro's do it and use Xpel Ultimate. It is self healing and has a clear coat on it. I did full hood, bumper, side panels, mirrors and rocker panels paid about 2500.
