I'm getting the 3M clear bra installed on the hood and headlights, the shop is trying to talk me into the front bumper too. Anyone here done the front bumper, or wish they had? Pretty pricey to do it, but may be worth it???? Thanks in advance for your input.........

Umm.. I'd definetly do it. That's where most of the damage would occur anyways.

For the record, I had my GTi done 2 days after purchase.

They did the front bumper, headlights, foglights, half of the fenders, half of the hood, mirrors, door handles, door sills, top of rear bumper.

why wouldn't you? thats the main thing to cover. My whole front end is covered; bumper, portion of the hood and front fenders, front of side mirrors and door handle cups.

Actually something happened this morning that made me glad I had it. I was driving to work on I-285 in Atlanta going 80 mph and a huge box was knocked in front of me by a car in the lane to my right. I had no time to dodge it so I hit it straight on. When I got to work there was a huge mark on the clear bra covering the front bumper. With some scrubbing it will come off but if it wasn't there the paint would have been damaged.

Definitely do the bumper. It is even more important than the other panels, since it is a softer material and so low to the ground. I have just the bumper covered and am quite happy.

I just had mine done. It was a custom job since i have a J's Racing bumper. It was sooooooooooooooo expensive, but also well worth the money to protect my investment. Def do it...

If you're going to skimp on anything, skimp on the other stuff you've already done. The bumper is the part that gets the worst hits.

Do it!

I had my 350Z completed two years ago and haven't regreted paying the money. I would suggest getting the works, bumper, hood, mirrors and especially the head lights as these are expensive to replace.

Since I just purchased my S2K, I need to have the front end painted before I get this done. Darn hood chips!

I am also thinking about getting the 3M but just the bumper.....how much would this cost...?

It cost me about $200 for just the bumper. That was down in San Diego, though. Not sure about here. If you have a tint shop you like, check with them as many have learned to do clearbras as well.

i just did my front bumper simply because my hood is CF and the bumper is the main part that will get rock chipped
