Could it look better, probably. Is it worth the cost to me to get it there, probably not given I'm satisfied now.
The quote I received included basic new car prep, but I asked for the price with correction in case there was the need. In any case, if you can't see the difference then there's no use 'splaining. If you've got the disposable income, get a FULL detail from some of the guys that the euro lux and exotic owners go to. I guarantee your car will look BETTER than new and you'll look like this:

I understand the clear-bra, but the number of awesome installations I've seen are MINUSCULE compared to the number of fucked up installations. Going further, a good coverage (whole hood, bumper, mirrors, entire front fenders, area behind front wheel) clear bra can easily run over $1000. Rock chips will happen and they're unavoidable... for me it's about how easy it will be to be maintain the paint plus keeping it fresher looking longer.
