Default clear bra question

I have a 07Z with the clear bra. The car came with it.It looks to be a 5 piece kit. Three pieces on hood including the light panels, and two pieces on the mirrors. Just wondering,why the nose wasn't done.Is this a dealer option. The car has 2000 miles on it and is perfect.Just doesn't make much sense not to do the nose of the car.

I wonder was the nose replaced or repainted. Doing the front bumper is the primary reason to use this stuff. It should have been there.

Maybe the previous owner got a scrape on the clear bra & took it off.
The bra could have been damaged, while leaving the paint perfect.

The previous owner may have taken it off the nose of the car.

The nose isn't done? I never heard of anything like that. The only thing I can think of is, either it was taken off, or the car had the nose replaced and the clear bra wasn't added.

I take it this was a used car. Did you ask the seller? Did you get a carfax on it? If it were me, I'd get it done, but that's just me. And, yes, I do have clear bra all over the front of my car.

I looked at 3m's sight and they do actually sell the 5 piece kit without the nose.I'm thinking about the install myself, but we will see.Quoted 400 for the front end, and three pieces on hood and quarters. Not bad and its 3m.

It is possible that whoever had the car had some chips on it, had the hood/fenders/lights done, and didnt get the bumper done after getting it resprayed.
