Negatives:
Pre-made Kit = lines that are visible from certain angles. Custom Full Hood & Bumper = 3-4x the price of premade. See Xcellere's ride (many pics on these forums) for how a full bra looks -- you can't tell it's there.

Another CON is that they are rumored to yellow after a few years. I have never seen this but I have never owned a CB. My M is white so I am staying away because the yellowing on white would look terrible. You could just use blue painter's tape like some people do when they drive their car home from the dealer. It gives the car a nice two tone look

I plan on getting one, but am still in research mode. On my GT3, the previous owner did not install one, and I really wish he had. Seeing all them little tiny pit marks on my bumper and hood sickens me. I am definately getting one on the new M.

I called around several dealers in the UK around the London area and luckaly came across these guys called "paintshield" in Grantham. Real pro's and they use top quality clear plastic from the States and under warrenty. I've seen the Ferrari's they've done, full cover, and demo's. I'm not fully educated on the product itself but it's garanteed to not "yellow" after several years. I guess as long as you clean it and take care of it witha UV protected wax, it'll last many, many years. I so far have the entire hood, front grill/bumper, front L/R fenders, and CB roof done. Next is the doors and eventually the entire car.

if you do a clearbra - do a full hood.

I guess it would depend on the color of your M if you want to cover it all up or not. I've got space gray and shine or shade, day or night, it looks invisable even up close. The only way you can see it is the edges or if you got polarized sunglasses you sometimes see a halo or rainbow effect like with real clean glass at times but only around the intake lowe lip front bumber for some reason, but under the naken eye it looks very good and well worth the cash for the protection it provides.
