Just out of curiosity....If a rock hit the clear bra on the hood at say a high velocity, wouldn't it tear the plastic leaving a gash. At that point, it would be so noticeable and you wouldn't be able to repair it without re-doing the entire hood. If a rock hit the actual paint and chipped the paint, one can at least touch it up carefully and it would be for the most part unnoticeable.

My cars in the past have been the kit and after 4 years I had 3 chips that I touched up that missed the front strip. I would do the kit I think and then add a small piece of clear bra on the front of the power dome. Both are quite easy to replace by one's self.

I do run the big, thick clear plastic over the lights. It really protects the headlights and turn signal lights. Over the years the clear plastic took quite a few big hits as the plastic had lots of gashes in it. They only cost about $40 and I replace them myself when they get enough chips.
