Default Clear Plex Windshield Protection

Did anyone here get their windshield protected by some kind of shock absorbing film or clear plex? http://clearplex.com/?video Recently my Rav 4 got a nasty rock chip and I would hate to have the same chip on the IS windshield. I can imagine that costing a lot more since it also incorporates the rain sensor.
I inquired about the price for installation in a bay area installer and he quoted me $150, which to me isn't bad at all. Just wondering did anyone here have any negative experince with adding this.
Thanks

You should also check out the stuff from proline. It's like a clear bra for your windshield. I think that they are located in the bay area. I know it has a warranty and it is somewhere around 150-240 for the IS. Just can't put amonia on it (like windex).

I haven't had any cracks in this car's windshield *knocks on wood* but I had one in my old IS300 and I think it was only about $50 to fix?

$50 to fix a small chip from spreading but what if the chip is not fixable and becomes a crack. Then replacing a window, I'm guessing will be around $400 and up? I'm hoping to avoid that with this protection.

Mine was one of those "star" shaped cracks and they fixed it. I couldn't even see where it was after they fixed it.
But yeah you have to fix it before it spreads otherwise it new windshield time.
