Question front end clear protection

Hi all, Im picking up a 2011 S FWD on the weekend and wonder if any of you have front end clear film protection installed and how does it hold up. I drive 200 kms a day and it can be harsh on the front end of the car. I do have bug deflectors on my other cars but it doesnt do any good for the lower part of the front.

I got a clear bra on the front of my car (about 1ft on the hood only, like a bug deflector you cannot see) when I got my car, and, to this day, it is holding great.
I have a 2008, so it has been there for more than 2 years and a half already (2 winters).

If I had to redo it again, I would cover the whole hood, for aesthetic reason only (should look better IMO when look at it closely). For protection, covering the first feet and the bumper is enough.

I got it from a local body shop who did the tinting of the front windows too (he subcontract these parts to a guy who only do that and work with several shops).

From few feet apart, you cannot see it, except maybe when the car is really dirty. When you know there is one or when you are really close from the car, you can see it (that is why doing the full hood is better aesthetically).
No pic done. If I have the time, I will shoot some (but nowadays, it is always dark when I am close to my car, it is winter).

No, it will not ruin the paint as it doesn't move after being put in place. Will there be a difference of colors after removing it compare to the parts not protected? If the paint is good and won't faint, there is no reason for that. If you fear that too, doing the whole hood is also a better option.
I think my clearbra is from 3M, so it should be UV resistant and won't glare. It still looks good after almost 3 years.

Thanks for the input Pescakl1..I had a 99 caravan (being replaced by this 2011 Rogue!) that had a bra for a good 5 years, it had a line where the bra was when i removed it. but this clear shield is more permanent than a car bra so I dont think that will be an issue and it looks like yours is holding up on what it is supposed to do, that is to protect the front end of the car.
