Hood protector, anyone using it?

Any thoughts, easy to DIY, any disadvantages?

Thanks

Look up this web-site and do it right www.rockblocker.net/main.htm It will look great and protect much more...in fact you can't even see it! Just my opinion though...

I'm a true believer of the clear bra, should be the first mod performed IMO.

Do you have it on the paint and the plastic parts?
Cost?
Thanks

basically, it covers the front end (front section of the hood, bumper, lower valance and side view mirrors). at least that's what mine covers.

i only covered the painted areas (hood, bumper, and side mirrors). i thought that plastic covering plastic made little sense at all, plus, I've never seen anyone get a chip in their headlights. I think I paid about $500.

Take you X into the mountains and accidently get caught behind a snow plow, sand thrower, 18 wheeler, Tahoe, etc... let them toss a rock at your headlights at speed when they are cold and a crack it definitely possible. The hd assembly is more expensive than the Clear Bra.

COVER your headlights.
