Absolutely get the front end protected with the 3m clear, especially if you have painted bumpers. It is best to have it installed right away before any chips, scratches, or oils get on your paint. I paid $700 for full front end & fenders at the dealer which included the Costco 15% off parts and service. I wish I would have had the doors done too. If you are a Costco member, I would take advantage of their dealers discount. I print out a 15% discount every time I go to the dealer for something. Works every time.
