if you guys are going to keep your cars longer than a few years, definitely get clearbra installed.

my G is 9yrs old and while i was very careful not to drive too close to the car in front, i have a lot of tiny impacts on my bumper. i should've clearbra'ed.

as a lessons learned, i clearbra'ed my Z's frontend a few months ago. she has 2 sesame sized chips which i touched up prior to installing the clearbra. i dont want the tiny speckles on my Z.

yah, i was hoping this would save my car too.

take it from me, do the clear bra. most clearbra shops can do custom installs so they just take a big sheet and cut it while they apply to aftermarket bits including your new lip.
