Default Lamin-x clear bra's - cyber monday sale

Has anybody had any experience with these on their cars? They are having a 20% off sale for cyber monday so it spiked my interest. Car is daily driven so rock chip are near impossible to avoid. What are your thoughts?

I'd do the headlight lenses with clear, but I'd probably leave it off of the paint--especially black paint. They fade/yellow in time and don't always come off clean.

Thats the full front kit, they have other parts (headlights etc.) separately. It might just be for regular cts, but still offers protection against rocks and such.

Im on the fence because like bud said, it can fade and doeant always come off neatly. I was tryin to do some youtube searchin to see people putting it on/taking it off. It does have a 5 year warranty...not sure if thats against fading or what.

Back in the day they were sponsors in the Jetta TDI Cup. Their headlight covers seem OK. Never used the paint product.
My tear off guy uses the XPEL stuff for the paint on race cars...

That looks like its specific for a CTS and not a CTS-V. the lower part of the front piece is very different

my brother had that put on his 2009 S2000 when it was new and it doesn't look great now. there's an obvious cutoff line and it's yellowing which makes the bra that much more obvious.

if you want a seamless protection, i'd get opticoat. with the caveat being your car should be immaculately clean prior to application.

i'm in the process of color-correcting my black V1 and it will be applied once i finish polishing

The headlights and turn/fogs are identical to the non-V models.

For the turn/fogs, the brake ducts below it is what differentiates it, not the lens.
