My hood and mirrors keep getting scarred by bugs and other road items and I'm thinking about applying this to the front.

Just curious if anyone has ever used this product and if it potentially "hurts" the paint.

Not sure about the particular brand, but many members (myself included) have that "clear bras". They are extremely durable and well worth the money, IMHO. Make sure you have a professional install it though.

I had a product called "Venture-Shield" installed. Just about every surface which faces the oncoming wind (hood, bumper cover, lights, mirrors) up to the mirrors is covered. I think it was about $500 installed professionally.

Bavarian Auto (where I got the info from when I originally posted) also sells a full front package for $215.

Do you have the name of the place where you had it done? I'm in MA also.
