I've been looking into getting a clear bra for my 02 c5 coupe for the bumper and part of the hood, rockers and fenders behind each wheel. Anyone know of decent kits that wont break the bank? I searched but most of the results seem dated.
Look at Xpel.com. They have all the pieces your looking for. You can also find a dealer in your area as well. Don't let the prices scare you. You can find them cheaper from a dealer. The bumper on the C5 is not a DIY job so know that going in.

Depends on how your define "bank". I got/installed the kit from invisiblemask.com(I installed mine, and I'm in a wheelchair), comes with all the tools you'll need including a how-to dvd.(tons of diy on youtube too). Some peeps I know get a piece by the foot to do their own 1/3~1/2 hood which is quite economical. Its also great behind wheel arches, door sills(where shoes would drag across), gas door, door handle recess, and front corner lights. The key to the front bumper in diy kits is relief cuts in the pattern to prevent wrinkles.
After a quick search it looks like invisible mask has some bad reviews. How did your experience with them go?
For the kit, it sufficed to my purposes; the pattern for the hood has more coverage(further to the windshield) than others I've searched...and price was to my liking. Only thing was their side skirt pattern is z06, and they don't have the regular nonvented pattern at all.
I've ordered from them 3x, got a kit for my dad's ride. Not to mention occasional orders per foot. And I'll likely order a kit for my brother in the near future. So my experience has been satisfactory.
