Question 3M protection kits???

Hey guys.
I just replaced both headlights under warranty cause they were fogged up and now I'm looking for protection film for them.
Any recomendations??? xpel or rockblocker???
and also, I live in dc so I park all the time on a street, on my old Integra the whole rear bumper was scratched by those fuckers who doesn't know how to park without hiting cars around them!!! So does anyone make clear bras or some kind of protection for our rear bumpers????
thnx in advance.

rockerblocker has all your protection needs..

I just bought off him a few weeks ago... the headlight kit is THICK

and the front clear bra is all cut nice and neat...

Comes with instructions or you can talk to Chad aka rockblocker and he will find you a local installer in your area.

I feel it is money well spent... i highly recommend him.. he is a stand up guy that will bend over backwards to help you out.

It covers the whole light where the high impact areas are. I honestly cant remember if it goes all the way back, but from 2 feet away you wouldnt see it anyways. If memory serves me correctly it goes all the way back.

yeah it covers the whole headlight... but do not hold a gun to my head.. i have not had time to install it yet... but is looks to be big enough to accomidate the whole headlight....and like I mentioned... it is THICK stuff... no way will your headlight see any damage.

your welcome Chad... i will be in touch in the future about becoming an installer of your product in my area.... very pleased with the quality of material...I mean, what is there not to like about 3M... great company.

and just to give you an idea of what I mean by thick..

your average black trash bag at home is about 2-3 MIL thick..(2 ply)

the headlight protectant is 17 MIL thick

Wish I had the 3M on my headlamps as the previous owner didn't and now I'll probally buy new lenses as they have some rock chips.

I put 3M on the front of the hood and fenders for protection, won't stop deflection of rocks into windshield though and a hood deflector is too fucked up to put on.

price----- 3M on hood and fenders $120 canadian

price----- paint and clear coat hood and fenders $800-$1000 canadian

3M is worth it to me anyway

as a side note, try this product, seems to polish up plastic pretty well, i'm sure a lot of peeps know of this though.
