Best place to buy CLEAR 3M BRA?

Can anyone recomend a good place to buy the clear 3M bras for our cars. At a reasonable price. My front end is not stock of course, so I was hoping for a place that offers the clear bras for all makes and models of Porsche. My front end is a GT-2, 911.

the front hood is very easy to install if you use lots of soapy water but the side mirrors and bumper are really tough cause of the curved surfaces. You must use a hair dryer to heat up the plastic as you pull and stretch. I know a pro who did it 3 times on the bumper and failed. I did not even attempt to put on bumper but i put one on the hood DIY...looks very nice and no more stone chips.

Does the 3M have a glossy finish to it? Or is it just plain clear and your car's paint finish is what makes it shiney/glossy? Reason I'm asking is because I have a few spots that I fixed using color matching spray paint over some small "dime size" rock chips. After it was fixed I could not get the nice gloss fisnish back so I was hoping that putting this stuff on top will give it the glossy look again.

I have never liked the clear bras, I can always see them and I think they look like poo, especially once they age a bit. I would never try to install one on my own. Also, the Stealers charge an arm and a leg to install them. $650.00 from BMW on an M6. THAT IS RIDICULOUS! You could repaint your front at least twice for that. My solution, If the rock chips bother you that much, make a quick visit to the body shop for a respray.
