Default What do you guys do

I have a Black 99 TA and and Phantom Metallic Black 06 GTO. It's alot of hell being that they are two black cars, but what do you guys do to protect your front ends from bugs and rock chips? At this point i'm ready to take the TA to the body shop for a touch-up, the GTO is ok for now, but I don't want to put an ugly bra on either of them. So what do you guys do to protect the front end paint from these issues?

Its nothing like a regular one... its more of a clear wrap... they use water and a squeegee to put it on... I payed someone to do it on my old car.. as long as you keep it clean with say the Chemical Guys Clear Bra cleaner it will be nearly invesible. its good stuff.

call some of your local car custom stores... Its a 3M product. usually runs 3-400 installed but its better than constantly repainting the front bumper and hood
