What good will that do really? It doesn't go from one edge of the hood to the other. I got most of my paint chips above the headlights so that wouldn't do any good for me if I had one.

I agree in the brochure I saw it was on a graphite gray model and looked nice, in those pic it doesn't look good on red.

I got one when I bought my White GTS and it doesn't look good. Instead I'm going to get the Clear 3M protection film and put it where the hood deflector would go to protect that area from stone chips.

300$ for front of hood and top part of bumper in between the headlights. YIKES, but peace of mind is priceless.

I do alot of freeway driving and I have two stone marks already above my grill.

I don't like the look of the hood deflector, and I heard the 3M coating changes color after a number of years, thus I didn't want to risk that on a white car because it would be blatant.

After two chips in 4 months though, yeah go for the 3M, and get the details on/ if there is a lifetime warranty if it shades different after time

The new 3M coating doesn't change colour. That's why it's so bloody expensive. The eBay ones however...other story. Best money I have spent so far. You can barely even notice it, looks sharp.

I just put on the full nose mark for a '09 Lancer GTS. It looks great and it doesn't cover up the aggressive lines of the car. Has anyone else installed this yet because I did have a question on how do attatch the front to the grill.....
