Is there a product that will protect my body kit from chipping? I.E. some sort of clear coat or something for the paint??

you could have made sure they used a good clear that is more

chip resistant, such as Imron clear.



I have seen that 3M stuff on cars, its not too bad looking.

Dont know what its called exactly.

I think this is what you are looking for. I believe it is called ScotchCal.

$399 for plastic film to protect a bumper?



Even in New York you can get a bumper repainted for about $250.



I would just get my **** repainted every few years then pay that

money for some plastic film. If something hard enough hits it not

only is the bumper damaged but there goes your plastic crap as well.
