I just checked out X-pel's website regarding their clear bra, looks cool and it's available for the CL...has anyone tried this or know anyone who has used this product? I personally like this because of the fact that you can barely see it on the car! (Although I only have seen it in pictures) And it protects your paint from dreaded paint chips... Here is some info on this product from their website as well as some pics to see how they look:

What's so special about the X-Pel Clear Bra?
X-Pel paint protection kits defend your vehicle's finish against frontal attacks of stones, rocks, abrasions, bug acids and weathering. Our quality kits provide ideal CLEAR protection that allow your vehicle's color and brilliance to show through without altering the manufacturer's intended design characteristics. Sometimes referred to as the "clear bra", these no-nonsense, precision cut kits are made from a flexible, energy absorbent thermoplastic urethane film cleverly developed by the 3M Company called Scotchcal specifically for vehicular paint protection. This rugged transparent material will not crack, yellow, shrink or peel over time and is used by major automobile manufacturers including Ford, Porsche, Mitsubishi and Toyota. The excellent design and performance of X-Pel Paint Protection Kits significantly aid in sustaining the value of your vehicle over time. There now is no reason to subject the paint on your vehicle to the damage that road debris causes.


Just look in any parking lot and see for yourself the damage that occurs from road debris impacting bare, unprotected paint. X-Pel Paint Protection Kits solve this problem and provide unconditional peace of mind that the paint on your car will withstand the road debris impacts that undoubtedly will occur. We are so confident in the performance of our kits that we offer our customers an unprecedented $1,000 Paint Protection Guarantee. Choose an automobile make from the box on the left of your screen to view the protection kits available for your car.

BMW Z3 (different color, but after the application. I believe this one has the headlight protection, bumper, and hood...you can barely see the "clear" bra!)


I cant see shit from this distance!:

If anyone did this to the car, please post! I'm going to call an authorized installer to see how much they charge.
