Default What is the best way to go for clear bra? Should I get one?

I am beginning to worry about stone chips on the front end and the only option that comes to mind is clear bra. Is it worth it?

Anyone who has it...can you see it? Is it worthwhile?

Also, what is the best brand to get, and does anyone in the Midwest (Chicago/Milwaukee) do a professional install job.

Sorry for all of the questions...and thanks for the help.<p>'01 Silver/Onyx 6spd

Had it installed in Orange County CA. Had the Stongard rep do the install. Its pretty tedious and a pain in the butt to do. They installed a full kit. Hood,front bumper/air dam(grill), back of mirrors,door edges,cups in the door handles.
I was not too sure about doing it, but its like car insurance you never know when ya gonna need it. And it has saved the paint at least three times cause I got the dimple in the stongard from the impact. Still can see some faint squiggly lines in the stongard but I can live with it. Its been about 3 to 4 weeks with it on now.

Default I'd never consider driving on the interstates w/o it. The X-Pel kits are very effective. You need

to look pretty close to see the material and very few people even notice it's there without you pointing it out to them first.
