I personally think it's a waste of money. I thought about it, but I hate the line that you can see with all the clear bras on the front ends. It's especially noticeable across the hood imo. I'd rather save my $500 to repaint the bumper down the road if I want to. If anything, only clear bra the rear doors where the worst paint chips occur. The front end doesn't get hit that bad. In 3 years, you probably won't care about paint chips anyway. It's an evo, not a ferrari The paint chips give it that rally character...
