I did not have any sort of bra on my `02 and even though I was very careful I collected about 6 nicks/chips on the front hood and bumper. I got into the habit of keeping touch-up paint in the glove compartment. I can attest to the fact that the Xpel bra pays for itself - not to mention the peace of mind!

I finally got to see a car with the xpel installed on it. Luckily it was white like my SC and it was very noticeable on the edges, to the point that I would not like it on my car. The installer told me that it is great and almost invisible when put on dark color cars and that even the silver color works well. I guess my choice is to drive carefully and make sure that I have my touch-up paint pen handy! Thanks again for everyone's help on my decision. I was leaning toward the xpel and was a little disappointed that it wouldn't work.

flint 330,
Good luck with that. I think once you see how easily the front of this car seems to chip the paint, you'll change your mind and find a good installer. I hope all goes well. Take care.

Can I also get that list of names of the installers for the clear bras. I recently bought my 02 SC430 and it has a few rock chips on the front bumper.. i'm also looking for a great body shop who would repaint the front and maybe be able to put that bra on for a great deal. if you have any advice...it would be greatly appreciated.
thanks
