The probability of having to paint one of those more than once is very high. Either from someone rear ending you when you leave the car parked (happened twice) for a few hours or rock chips dinging the front end. The previous owner had a dealer installed clear bra on the front bumper and half the front hood but that cost over $1500. Excellent work though you couldn't see in photos and I had to point it out to most people before they noticed it. Too pricey though...I'd rather put that money towards a new top or my new RE-11's.
