I bought a kit from RichochetGuard and I would highly recommend it

This stuff is strong, and you dont need to worry about your paint once its on.
Tonight I will post some links to docs I have written about it.

I can get the kits and all that if you guys need them, I drop ship.
If anything I would do the headlights, its a 20 mil film that is pretty easy to put on, and it protects them from pretty much anything, if it does break something, Xpel provides a warranty where they pay your deductible for replacing them.
My site is very informative

I have it, nice stuff. From what the installer said it's some what difficult to put on. Had a friend that drives a STI he tried doing it himself, needless to say he had to throw it away because he screwed it up pretty bad.

I got mine installed, hood and leading edge of fenders and mirrors, for $190.00 cheapest price I could find.

I know this stuff works, and i am planning to get it too. my question is does it get yellow after a year or too or does it have enough u.v. protect in it to last. is it a vinyl product or some other type of polymer. I'm worried that it will get yellow or opaque after a year or so but nobody has had them long enough for me to judge. i'm pretty sure that anything that 3m puts out will be of high quality though.

I bought a kit from ebay for $170, there are loads of them for sale. With that purchase I also purchased a roll that was not pre-cut. I have played with uncut and it is not that hard to install. Would probably recommend a garage or someplace under a roof...

I don't know but I have almost 7000 miles on my RR RS with zero chips up front. Just today I was cleaning my wheels and did a front end check-up just for chips. Not one, nothing on the hood or bumper. Though I did find two additional dings on my rear passenger door from knobs opening their doors into mine.

Oh, new thought.... Clear Bra for the wheels... It wouldn't stop a curb check but it would stop little rock chips and maybe keep some of the brake dust off.


Or, am I smoking too much crack again?
