Default Hood paint protection

Want to have some kind of paint protection on the hood of the xB. Seen a few posts of people using bras. I also have heard about these clear coverings that jsut stick on.

Any thoughts?
What are you using? Do you like what you have?

Thx

Bump!

I do 80% of my driving on the freeway (I-95) for work. I think it will be best if I get something to protect the front end. Please post pictures and your opinions on what you own for front end protection.

Thanks!

Just installed the WeatherTech bug deflector on the xB. Install was smooth using only foam tape. I like it so far. Have had many of this type before.

I was keeping a eye on it today driveing to work. I was going 80+ on the freeway and it did not bend back much. The round front end on the xB helps the stiffness in the deflector. I have had some before that can bend back and rub the paont. Not a chance of that happening here. :D

Will post photos soon.

I’m heading out on a five hour road trip this weekend I ordered a bra but I’m not sure I’m getting it before then. I was wondering if there is anything I could use in a pinch to protect the front end? I think I remember seeing pictures of someone using painter’s tape to cover to front. I tried searching but couldn’t find anything I could be making it up can’t remember :?
