I have had a clear bra installed on all the cars I have bought in the past 12 years. The initial cost is a bit steep but the good news is if the car is ever hit/damaged, once the clear bra is installed the insurance company pays to have it re-installed. On the S3 I will have the complete hood wrapped, front bumper, headlights and mirror backs. I will likely have door edge strips installed as well as a rear bumper protection piece in case my wife drags something on the bumper when putting something in the trunk. I will also have them add the door handle cups and possibly the A-pillars. The little pieces are damn near free when doing the big items. I believe in protecting the front of the car as the freeways in the Bay Area are in poor condition and rocks and debris are all over the place. I average a windshield a year on my commuter.
