price of $995. Besides the hood, it goes on the back of the mirrors and lower front clip of the S5.

Default Got the bra, but not the teflon "paint protection"

my dealership used Venture Shield.. I think it was either $600 or $700. It covers all the painted surfaces on the front end, including the first 12" (or so) of the hood, around the grills all the way back to the wheel wells.

They told me that , because the mirrors were aluminum and not painted, they couldn't use the film on them.

Default I believe that the mirrors are painted. Audi discontinued aluminum mirrors

on all models awhile back because of pedestrian crash requirements I hear.

Default Clear Bra

I have the clear bra on my A4 and I still got a couple of small chips right behind where the bra stops.

Default Re: Got the bra, but not the teflon "paint protection"

The options seemed almost limitless when it came to the clear bra. I have equipped multiple cars with them and had great experiences with them. Although this time the dealer offered a slightly better version of the clear guards, instead of using laser cut templates, the company they used actually placed custom sheets and trimmed them right on the car. This allowed them to actually wrap the film up and around the edges of the panels for a more stemless installation.

I only ordered the front bra which included 1/3 of the hood, the front bumper, lights, and side view mirrors and it was about $950.
