I ran a bra on my 2010 Camaro a while back and I didn't find a good way to keep dust and dirt from getting around the edges. After a 2 week road trip driving through lots of crappy weather I had to do some minor paint correction. My vote is also for PPF or just masking the front of the car before long trips.

If you do want to protect the mirrors I would agree that PPF is a good idea. It's one of the harder pieces to install. You need a good install as it's the first thing you see when you go to open your door! Personally, I only had mirror ppt on one car. I don't know if it's airflow or what, but I do not get chips on my mirrors. I have had chips on the hood and bumpers of several cars (before I started having PPF applied to the front), but no problems with my mirrors.

Xpel is the way to go as the bras can cause scuff marks like the door sill protectors do. Looks much better on 20th century Corvettes.JMHO! YOUR CAR YOUR CHOICE THOUGH!

Another Novistretch thread?? Oh wait... naa, just another #SMH post. PPF anyone? Naa, let's throw some leather-looking socks on the mirrors. Oh, and pay a lot for them. I love America.
