Durashield / Protex / Z-Shield
My X3 is going in Friday for the installation of the clear bra. I got a quote for 650$ for the Durashield PPF, that will be installed on the hood, mirors, lights, fog lights, and bumber (shell). and fenders. I will also add the paint sealant for 150$ and I got a deal for the tinted glass for 175$.
I really think that this protection is required because that bumber is too nice to be all picked by rocks and bugs. And with the s_ _ _ that they put on the roads in Quebec, it will not take long too look bad. Also it is Alpine White so I don't want it to fade. Got some good comments about the PPF. Anyone else getting that done? |

Really the only thing you need to worry about a clear bra on a white car is that it can yellow if not taken care of.

I understand the clear bra's protect against nicks from road sand/rocks, but is it really worth it?

10,000% worth it.
I can't comment on which material to use. Most companies are on their 7th+ iteration of polymer technology. The days of "yellowing" plastics is long gone, these materials are ultra thin, ultra clear, ultra durable and sometimes ultra expensive. If you're a non-highway, non-winter driver you can get away without it. If you drive highway, especially anywhere with sand/salt on the road it's quintessential. |
