I would suggest looking into getting a Clear Spray Wrap (PlastiDip) done instead. You can probably Full body protection for the same cost to clearbra your hood/front bumper.

I'd suggest KustomKoatings in Philly as they do phenom work and are well worth the trip. They are reasonable too! You might be able to find a shop closer to you, but the SprayWrap is what I'd recommend.

Clear Spray wraps dont protect against rock chips though...

It's actually very durable and extremely resistant to rock chips and scratching. Look at some of the PlastiDip videos on youtube.

One of the things I also don't like about clear bra (and this happened on my M3) when/if you remove it you can see a distinct difference in the paint from where it was protected, vs un-protected. With a clear(or colored) SprayWrap, everything is covered and protected so you don't have this scenario if/when you want to remove/redo it.
