I had a 3M clearcoat bra installed at the dealer (you could save yourself a chunk of change by getting it aftermarket), but frankly, it was worth it for me on the drive home right after taking delivery, as a car (probably 10-15 car lengths - large American car lengths) ahead of me kicked up a stone. No scratches, dings, or any damage to my car. Frankly, it was worth it.

But like I said, you can get it a lot cheaper if you get it in an aftermarket shop, and I would recommend that if you live relatively close to the dealer and to an aftermarket installation outfit (or one that can install it at your home or office with a proper guarantee). I just don't happen to have one near to my home (I live about 86 miles from my dealer, and I'm out in the "boondocks") so that's why I spent the extra change to get it installed by the dealer.

Still glad I did it, even with the extra cost.
