Default FRONT BUMPER PROTECTION == Clearbra alternative ?

Would either Blackfire or Zaino provide better protection against chips in the paint when applied to the front bumper and hood in several layers. Or does neither really give very good protection against somthing like this. Trying to decide if several layers of one of these polymer products would do the job or am I stuck with having to get a clear bra or regular bra to do the job. B/c I would like to keep my Z looking mint (that is when it ARRIVES !)

Neither will protect again rock chips. Clear bra is the most effective, w/o impacting looks.

I agree, if done right the bumper will look great with the clear bra.

Here's a close up shot of the 3M paint protection film (the Xpel pattern) on my Silverstone 350Z Track. It's hard to see, but look at the film borders around the Nissan emblem.
