Has anyone found a mfr that makes 55" wide rolls to cover the full width of the front hood? My installer has not seen anything more than 46".

Cheers.

The PO had a clear bra put on my car. I don't know how old it is but it looks great. It's held up great and has deflected numerous rocks and other debris. I will definately get one put on any future Porsche.

In the pic below does the bra look like crap? Can you even see it?

It looks like that in person, too.

PS...we have a clear bra on our Soob and it saves us in the winter for sure...and during the summer time random road cr$p. Definitely putting it on the "new" S, just want to determine if I can get a full sheet on a hood or not. The line on a silver car will not be as noticable as on our black car, but full hood would be nice regardless.

Mine only goes 1/2 way up the hood. So far that's protected it well enough.

3M film has clear coat just like your paint; some other brands do not. Other brands stretch easier over curvy surfaces. Pros use rolls and trim to fit, not pre-cut kits. Hood & fender tips are DIY but the bumper cover is NOT a DIY. Even the pro's have problems with orange-peel due to stretching, mostly noticeable on darker colors.
