So I have decided to get a xpel film and also a MP CF front lip for my gc...question here is: Do I install the film to the bumper first and then put on the lip or put on the lip first and have the installer cover the bumper + lip all together?

I would do it separately. If the lip gets damaged you'll be able to replace that easily. Otherwise once it removed the bumper will most likely need to be redone.

I would put the lip on then get the clear bra installed. This way they protect up to the lip. I would not recommend putting the lip on top of the clear bra because this lip will get damaged over time and you may want to replace it. If you need to pull the lip off it will damage the clear bra and have to redo the bumper. Since you are going CF, I would strongly recommend putting the clear bra on that as well because all the CF lips I have seen are chipped up pretty bad since they are so close to the ground and are sprayed with sand and pebbles. Just look how pitted a windshield or your headlights get over time.

You recommend attaching the lip on top of the clear bra? Wouldn't it pull off if you had to replace the lip? Or in my case I pull my lip off for winter to avoid damage to the lip and bumper.
