Having just spent some significant $$ on paint and body work and on newly rechromed front bumper, I am wondering about protection against future stone chips and dings. The bumper I just got back from chrome was almost perfect except for the fact that it had typical small tiny dings in the chrome from stones and such
I was thinking it would be good to apply a protective film on the bumper as well as on half the front hood

- if you have done this- who did you use? what product? who applied it, etc.

Thanks,

Phil

Having my daily driver done soon, after a really good experience with doing the rockers and "side scoops" on a GT4. The press car GT4, also in Guards Red, had totally hammered rockers and scoops as a result of the R-compound tires after just 5000 miles. Chips were everywhere. After 14,000 miles, the other GT4 looked new down both sides. Only negative was a bit of dirt under the edges of the clear here and there. Small downside, and a more expensive install could have avoided it.

Been thinking about having the hood, headlights, and fender lips of the 914 done. We're lucky in that the 914's slab sides mean side protection really isn't needed (unless you have flares, that is). Front bumper is a good idea if I get a fresh one done... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)
