I am thinking about getting this on my C5. It is in the shop right now getting the front bumper and hood refinished due to something that was bouncing down the highway and hit me. I drive 100 highway miles to work every day and my previous car (S2000) got pock marked big from the driving. I did a search and didn't see anything about it. Any opinions?

Maybe some pics or a link would help ..
Are you talking about a clear film that gets applied to the car ? Like the hood, mirrors, around the outer wheel area? I've see it installed, looks okay the first year or so then starts looking shabby and cheap ..

Saved me a few major rock chips already.
Price makes replacing when yellowed or tattered affordable.

I had the 3M clear plastic installed on my frt bumper after having it repainted. Works great and hardly noticable. 3M web sit has a list of authorized installers by state.
