F*ck no!

If you're that concerned get some clear wrap put on. Far better than that monstrosity and a billion times better than those god awful bonnet bra things too.

I'm sure there's a hatch on here with one on doesn't look that bad to be honest as it looks like a dubbed golf

I wouldn't have one on personally gives it the vag/dub look in my opinion which I wouldn't want on my jap mobile

there's a touran locally with one on and it looks

Seen these as an optional extra on the new Subaru XV, they don't look very good and seem a bit pointless, stone chips aren't that bad are they!?

have a look around the hatchbacks as they are very bad ,, paint is very very thin so they suffer from them really bad ,, iv had to do my front end once already and now have to do the rear arches as they have suffered the same fate as the bumper and bonnet

Its selling for £60 (new), (can prep & paint myself) was thinking of putting it on my imported hawk wrx
wagon, its got a few jdm mods and thought this could add to the jdm look.

Its a 1 owner with only 20,000 miles so was hoping to keep it looking good.

Will look into the clear wrap/paint protection film also.......thats been mentioned.

Why not buy the other rock chip protector? The kind that is a clear vinyl/plastic film that goes on your hood? That works quite well.
