And I am at the other end of spectrum. Absolutely love the clear bra...never be without it.
BUT...NO "bikini line" half way up and across the bonnet...THAT is wrong way to do it and WILL be a pain. Get entire hood done and it works. If you can afford the car and some clear, you might as well do it all. Best hunk of money I have spent on the car as I hate the chips that WILL come, and dislike the idea of spot coloring. That shows worse. Just another perspective.
