3M Clear Bra, San Antonio?

I have had my TSX now for 6 weeks and I got my first rock chip on my hood. This was my first highway trip, and sure enough, I got a nice 1/4" chip on the front end of my hood.

Before I get any more, I am considering getting the 3M clear bra installed on my car. Anyone know of any good places in San Antonio that won't charge me an arm and a leg?

I know you can get your fenders, mirrors, etc. as well, but I think just the bumper and hood would be enough, what do you all think?

From what I can tell, it is not noticable at all, only when you are up close, can anyone verify that?

Lastly, what's a good price???

check www.xpel.com - last I saw there was an installer in Seguin. I did the headlights and fog lights myself. With 20k miles the rest of the front end is a bit too chipped to do the bumper and hood now.

guess i can just ask here... Not intending to hi-jack topic...

I don't have the bra but want one... but then I also want a bodykit later on... so should i get the body kit first then the bra? or is it okay to put it on main bumper, then install bodykit and then fit another one over the lip?

I went with a custom cut 3M clear bra instead of a clear bra pre-cut kit. My installer cut the 3M film from a large roll and then stretch/cut to fit my front end with my 06 A-spec kit. I would find out if the clear bra installer uses a kit or a large roll.

It doesn't take long to jack up your front end without a clear bra. You might have to do the pre-cut kit thing and later find another installer to just do the front of your body kit when you get it.

I have +20,000 miles and the clear bra has paid for itself in the sandy southwest. You will not regret getting a clear bra, you will only regret not getting one sooner.
