I just saw that clear bra on a 650 at the dealer showroom...and it leaves a line across the hood its to visible for me. I'm sure it works but I'll pass.

I like the painted one. I considered the black or clear but the painted one looks so much better.

Ok I'm more 50/50 now--it's more consistent as clear with the side marker. But the all black front looks good, too. I sound like a woman choosing between 2 purses

.

The line on the clear guard is barely noticeable--everybody that has seen it on my e53 wants to get it on their car. It's just piece of mind--no rock chips. I have better things to do than sit there with a touch-up brush and attempt to fill in rock chips.

Thats why people get the whole hood covered these days.
