Thanks for all the advice guys. Maybe I'll just go with a clear wrap on the front.
Thanks again. |

I put a clear bra on my 4 series in the first week and had no problems. I only did the front bumper and 1/3 of hood/fenders. A few months later I lowered the car, and boom I instantly start getting pepper marks just above the clear bra line on my hood . So yeah, can't compare a truck to a car. |

FWIW on car vs truck 10,000+ miles 3-3/4" ground clearance. Of course I would never dream to run the two lane blacktop moonshiner roads aggressively. This one had about 32,000 miles when the 435i picture was taken. Seriously, Will have to chalk it up to different actual personal experiences but have lived in New Jersey, UK & NC without any real noticeable damage from typical daily driving. Did about 28 years Jersey Shore to Wall ST. when I was in country, 25,000 miles a year in a 67 Stingray. Car went through a few engines but same deal nothing noticeable on the paint.

Although I can't believe your other comment. I've spent a lot of time in NJ and refuse to believe that someone lives there and isn't an aggressive driver |

I try to keep my car off the freeway at all costs if I can. So far, so good.
