I am an EXPEL dealer in San Antonio. I do clear bras for $750. This covers the hood, fenders, bumpercover, mirrors and headlights. This includes material and labor. There is actually a clear bra on my car pictured below.

I would have rather done suspension than the mods listed in my sig, much of which is being suggested.

lowering springs + x-brace > intake and exhaust

and then save up so you can buy another set of S02s instead of buying cheap yokohamas like I did.

I got my 3M clear bra for $250 installed by dealer when I bought my S new 4 months ago. The bra covers the first 12 to 18 inches of the metal (partial hood and partial fenders) and the side mirrors. It did not cover the actual bumper, which to me was fine because the bumper absorbs debris better than the metal hood.

Hope this helps. Take care,

Denver

P.S. Go with exhaust and if you want loud go with Nvidia. A friend has that and it howls, sounds good, just loud. great look from the back too.

It depends on where you're located. Here in the Atlanta area it can be done for about $550 and includes what S2KSpaYellow quotes.

Congrats! Do you mean Gwinnet Place Honda? If so, that's where I bought mine! What color are you getting?

If you're in the Atlanta area, you've gotta check out S2KAtlanta.com. It's the local S2K owner's club. They're really a great bunch of folks

You can get it for $30K if you go with an '05. They've still got some. Also, unless that protection package is the clearcoat, I'd tell them to forget it. There's a car care kit that they give you (make sure you ask for it) that will have a sealant/protector that you apply once a year or so. I believe it's the same at the $1200 think they're trying to sell you.
