The picture that I posted was indeed taken at the dealers's, but the other pictures on my quickly thrown together website were taken in the underground lot at my office.

I'm fairly lucky, I have a bimmer on one side of me that parks over to the right side of their spot. That being said, I'm still a little concerned. I'm getting my 3M Scotch Guard clear bra installed tomorrow morning, so if I make it through today rock chips will not be a concern so I can focus on avoiding door dings.

Way to go! We hit the jackpot on the same day. I picked up my Plat Graphite X w/Tech, Premium, Nav, Wood last night. I love it already, even more than I loved my '03 sedan that I traded.

We had a big snow-storm last night through this morning. I probably would not have gotten out of the garage without AWD.

Christian, what are they charging you for the clear bra? I can't decide if I am going that route or not.

What do you guys do with old tires when you switch? Will the tire shop "hold" them for you?

I've got 3 full sets hanging between the rafters in my garage. Looks like a tire shop.

My dealer charges CDN$700 for an Avery clear bra, but I opted to go to an installer that I trust who is fully certified by 3M. He's giving me a break, the full front end kit is normally about CDN$970 (Bumper, Hood, Fenders, Mirrors, and grill kit) but he is doing it for CDN$750. I think it's worth it because Calgary uses a lot of gravel on the roads in the winter, and I don't want a bunch of ugly rock chips.

Nah, I didn't mind at all Ketan. Front license plates are required where I live so it had to be done.

Nope, that was VERY short lived.

Yeah, and we were up drinking beer until 11:45 last night too.

Good to know Shane. Mine was pre-drilled too since we require front plate. I personally don't mind either. It actually helps make the ICC sensor less noticeable.

I just came installed the clearbar today. I got three different quotes, 900 from the dealer, 700 from trimline, and 600 from Mark (from barries). All quote included bumper, fenders, and hood.
