Anyone try 3M's Plastidip clear bra yet?

Its like Plasti Dip but clear and can be removable.

I'd be interested in spraying this for my front bumper.

I'm curious as well. I owned my car for a whole two weeks before a truck kicked up a rock and chipped my bumper.

It's a cool idea, but what will it do to the paint underneath if left on for years or even re applied so say the bumper and hood is covered for 3 years. It likely won't be the same color as the rest of the car.

I applied it to the rocker panels of my WRX, to prevent cone damage/marks while autoxing. It dries really clear, and and smooth. Looks great. I hit a cone in a slalom and it left a mark on the film but did not tear it or scuff . Super durable. I wiped the cone mark off and it looks fine. I did make a mistake the first time i sprayed it, after drying it pulled right off just like a vinyl decal. I will be spray the other areas prone to cone marks.
Well worth the money.
