If you do a lot of freeway driving, clearbras give you peace of mind from chips. I got the full hood, bumper, fenders, mirrors with Xpel. was pricey but offers very good protection. If u want to skimp a bit, just do the front bumper. the fenders dont see as much rock action. And the hood to a lesser extent than the front bumper.

As for paint peeling when removing, there is a chance of that happening. Our paint is very thin on the front bumper. In fact, my installer had to redo the bumper clear bra and the removal of the old film actually peeled off the parts of the bumper paint along the hard edge just under the weather stripping where the hood cover meets the bumper. He'd never seen factory paint peel like that before and was pretty shocking. Ended up getting the front bumper repainted and re clear bra'd. But hopefully that doesn't happen to anyone else.

Given that, I'd still recommend a clear bra at least for the front bumper if you drive freeways often.
