Is it small enough to just touch up?

I just noticed my first one today too. I'm ordering a clear bra before the sun sets!

I think a protective grille or screen on the opening below the bumper would be good, too. Looks like the radiator and/or air cond coil could be punctured if a large enough rock or whatever where to impact it as you're moving along at 60+ mph.

I ordered the Colgen Bra Monday. I can't stand the rock chips. I also can't stand the bugs. I drive from Oklahoma City to Tulsa area every Friday then back every Monday morning. It will be alot eaiser to cclean the bugs from the bra than from the paint and grill.

I've got the small bra that Mike was selling that just covers the grill and hood. I'll use that on trips for extra prevention. The full bra won't work for me because of the custom bumper.

I figure the next best thing will be the clear film. It will be better than nothing.

I'm even thinking of getting an extra grill for driving around since the clear stuff won't civer the grill and I had mine color-matched.
