If I add the front bumper cover, fenders, hood and mirrors I'm likely looking at another 1800.00 or so(my guess). This morning I took a closer look at the rear fender flares and rockers; there are infact already some chips there, not bad, but they are there.
So, my thoughts are I can spend some money now, and likely not have to spend more later. That's the upside...
The downside... I haven't evern made the first payment yet... 
Am I really over thinking this??? |
I'm not sure you if you plan on keeping your car or just leasing--but either way to clearbra the entire car is insane. Just from a common sense stand point--the plastic is not going to have the same look as paint--it will look like you saran wrapped your entire car. And if you need to remove it, that is going to be a nightmare if not done properly. Just do it the lower 6-8 inches of the side of the doors and in the rear, etc. if you are worried about the rock chips and be done with it.
