The curvy bumper is extremely difficult to do. I think the installer would need to heat the clear bra with hair dryer and stretch it like crazy. For me, I seem to get all the rock chips on the front hood and not the bumper. So I did not cover my bumper, just the front hood areas, which is quite easy to do. However, $850 still seems pretty high for the entire clear bra kit and labor.

I used ArmorCoat, a paint product. I am very satisfied with it after over 18 months use.

I ended up doing the same thing. I have a Clear Bra on my gold Honda Accord and have been pretty pleased with it. But the Armor Coat is even less visible and has fewer seams and, after 3 months and 3000 miles, it's holding up well.
