Unfortunately I can't help you with that, but I can suggest some stuff once you find someone to do it. I would call some dealers and ask around too.
I live in Colorado where the clear bra is the only thing that really helps to protect your paint. I went as far as to buy the 3M headlight protectors that are really thick. They actually have a $1000 guarantee if the lenses get damaged. I ordered them from performance products.
What I had done was the following: Front of the car of course, then the A pillars, the inside holes of the door handles (this really eliminated those nail scratches) and the side view mirros.
If you don't get the thicker 3M protectors for the headlights, have them do your headlights with the same thinner material anyway but don't forget the fog lights, they really get beat up since they are so low to the ground.
I had mine done at the dealer here in Colorado, I actually knew of the guy that does the work for them and he was good. All the work should be guaranteed for life (if that really means anything). It cost me just under $500.
Maybe you knew all of this, but it might help someone else.
Tell me what you end up doing,
Steve

Tell him that Paul with the Ferrari and the MB sent you and he will take good care of you.

Name correction
MB SF and HL KC:
As I am also ****, the actual name is Omega Tintwerks. It is located at 3701 Old Santa Rita Road in Pleasanton. I have seen the clear coat bra on a G-35 in a showroom and was very impressed until I saw the dealer add on price: $1,295!!! It was on the front, the lights and the mirrors, but talk about your dealer mark-up.
I will look into Omega for both tinting and the bra when I receive my 211 in late December.
Still Waiting, but hopeful
