Clear Stone and Rock Guard?
Who opted for this protection? Im considering it on the hood and upper fender around the headlight. Is it a factory option? My sales associate is away on holidays and my order is still updatable. thanks, |

I don't think it's available from the factory. My dealer won't even install it. I had a certified 3M installer do my X5 M Sport.

Your dealer might offer it, but at a significant markup to what an independent charges. I talked them down to about $50 more than what a local guy quoted me (same guy who had done two of my previous cars and used to work for the dealer).
Anyway, I've had it done to three cars now and it's well worth the money if you keep your cars for a while. |

I am a vinyl installer, and I share a shop with a detailer. Most clear bras all fade/yellow out after a couple of years and can also cause uneven fading of the paint that's underneath the film.

OP: 3M is now VentureShield. They have the thinnest application I believe on the market compared to any of the others. And yes, go with an independent installer.

That's good to hear. It happens more often than not though.

Ive had it on my performance car for about five years as the hood and funders are carbon and expensive to replace. No fading, i did have this done by a very high-end shop but i am unaware of what they used. The guaranteed no fading or yellowing,

To answer somebody else's question about cost, I think $500 - $600 is around the ballpark these days. |
