Full Front Bumper : 1
Full Hood : 2
Full Front Fenders : 2
Mirrors : 1
Side doors : 3 (really? side doors? helluva weird angle to get a chip on that)
Rear Quarter Panels : 1
Rocker Panels : 1

A-Pillars : 1
Partial Roof at front edge : 2

Clear bras iseally should be installed at the dealership before they roll off the lot. As soon as you drive it you are chancing getting chips. I never recommend anyone get it "later down the road" because by then, you will have chips. The purpose of getting a clear bra is to prevent chips and keep the paint pristine. So why put it on over chips????

Partial hood and fenders are fine if you can live with the line. You can get a chip anywhere on the car.... the odds are just the greatest on the front bumper, front part of the hood/fenders, lights, and mirrors. The rocker panels and rear wheel splash guards are a great idea as well. The other factor is when you start getting into the full panels, your cost is going to go up significantly. Its up to you to determine if the money is worth not having a line... or are you just worried about protection???

If the clear bra is done properly with a good film... i.e. VentureShield Ultra, you will not be able to tell a difference between your filmed areas and the exposed surfaces.

Do ALL dealers do it, or is it something I'll need to research about local dealers?
