| Care to tell us what a "good deal" cost? I'm thinking about having mine done, and local prices seem to be about $400. Gotten anything useful from MINI2? How about giving a little something back?  '03 MCS BRG/W Anthracite Pkg 1,2,3 |

| The price of a kit and installation is $600-800 here in Northern California. You really can't compare pricing from one region to another because labor rates differ ... as illustrated by this thread: http://www.mini2.com/forum/showthrea...threadid=27487  |

| It was one of the better deals that i got quoted for here in LA $159 for the hood + mirrors, $139 for the bumper and $54 for the headlamps. and $180 for installation and because i mentioned that i was a MINI2 forum member they gave 10% discount on everything including installation not just the parts. So it was a good deal! Oh I also said that i wanted to have the door edges X-Peled cuz when parked in the garage its really easy to bang the door against my dads car so they threw that in for free...  |

| Looks good, I've always wanted something to prevent those pesky stone chips. I didn't like the look of the black bra though. The clear bra is much better. How does it come off BTW? |

| What happens about waxing the car once you fit one of these..?? I want to prevent stone chips if I can, but I want to be able to get a great shine (Zaino). Can it be applied over a previously waxed car..? Do you wax over it, or doesn't it need it..? (Sorry if these q's have been asked before)  Religion is like a huge dog. If it's yours it's very friendly and comforting, but it scares the heck out of everyone else. |

| Wax or polish can be applied on this clear urethane. You just need to take a little care around the edges to prevent build-up. I'd recommend stripping old wax before fitting a clear bra. |
