I am going to have the front and the mirrors done with the clear bra (when i find someone to do it) so I might as well have it done also.I wouldn't worry about chipping if you're having it professionally painted. You can't see it unless you're standing more than 10-15 feet away, where you'd never notice a few rock chips anyway. Suppose clear bra material would be easy to put on, but I really wouldn't worry about it.
