I wash my car recently and notice even more chips on the front bumper and hood than before. Waiting to repaint and then clear bra sounds like a good plan.

Could insurance cover this if its bad? I cant believe a near 40k car gets chips like this. Lexus should offer to install free clear bra's with this many reports of rock chips on a luxury car...

Free clear bras from Lexus? Not a chance. I won't be surprised if they charged $2k for it.

I should of got clear bra when I first purchased my car but I was low on cash and eventually forgot about it until now

Its hard to explain, but its basically a liquid film that gets sprayed on the hood, bumper etc but the best part of this is that it doesnt peel like the normal clear bras!

I will try to get some photos for you folks.

Pricing for front end is $500-800

Advantages
-it can be spray onto any body part just like clear coat (waxable)
-Extra UV protection
-no seamlines , so wax wont get stuck
-same durability as 3M clear film
-doesn't turn yellow

Disadvantages
-It's Spray so its not removable

We'll try to get some pictures of the front end
