Thanks

It's good stuff especially if you have aftarmarket paint as it is softer than
factory paint and prone to rock chips and swirls. Yep, I would do it again if
I had to repaint the front bumper for some reason. :smile:

I can't say enough about the clear bra. I'm so happy I installed it. I've driven on quite a few roads this winter where I could hear the salt/sand being kicked up onto the car from vehicles in front of me. Yet the front of my car still looks shiny new. I've got the whole front end kit, as well as the piece along the leading edge of the roof, the A-pillars, and upper rear bumper (to prevent scratches when loading/unloading). I'd do it again in a second. With patience it's even something you can install yourself.

If nothing else, you should at least get the headlight protection kit. I think it's something like $40 and it's pretty simple to install. If it saves you from something as small as a broken foglight or turn signal it will more than pay for itself!

Ryan at Auto Clear Guard is great to deal with!

I felt it was a good idea but experience on something like this is well worth asking for.
I will probably have the dealer install it.
Can't wait to the little guy!!!!!!!!!

Hi Robyn
Thanks for the reply. It really looks like a good product. I always felt bra's for cars did more to distract from the car than it did protect it. I'm gald you are satisfied with the product. I feel I will go with it due to what I've read about the paint on the aero kit being soft.
Thanks again
Gary
