i bought a floor car in the past with aftermarket aero bits and it had quite bit of chips (for my standard). i touched it up and clear bra'ed it. the chips and fix looked much less noticable and from that point forward even after 6yrs ownership the car looked great.
it's up to you. if you do the installation yourself it will save you a couple hundred bucks. :) Auto Paint Guard Inc. Tampa Florida Clear Bra 3M Paint Protection Film Car Bras |
I bought my 2010 Z without a clear bra. At that time the bumper was nearly perfect. Literally after 3 weeks I had 50 pin hole chips all over it from rocks I guess. I got some touchup paint from the dealership and then had it clear bra'd along with 1/3 of the hood fenders and mirrors for $800. Yeah I probably should have repainted it all first but after spending $30k I was annoyed I had to repaint it already and was stubborn lol. So am I happy with the clear bra over touched up rock chips? Heck yeah. This car gets chips everywhere anyways. I'm to the point now where I have 26k miles on it so it's not gonna be perfect. You can't even see the chips under the bra unless you really look and there are 0 bubbles in the bra. Just my opinion

imo, the dog's long gone, gate might as well stay open.
I'd personally respray the bumper, THEN, after the paint's set, do the clear bra. Down here, a reputable vendor can do the clear bra for around $800 to $1500 depending on how much coverage you are looking to get. |
For the prices quoted, sounds like a road trip to Texas for Doug and Michelle.

It's really a matter of when you want to "spend" the money. You either do it up front on a clear bra, or on the back end by painting one or two times and getting less return when it is time to sell. |
