LOL, I think the sarcasmeter broke on this forum. OP, you'd get better luck having this moved to the appearance section.
On topic (sorta), there are two major brands of clear film - 3M and Ventureshield. Both are very good. 3M guarantees their product free from defects for 5 years. Ventureshield is lifetime. The current versions of both films have been road tested for 5+ years with no cracking, fading, or orange peel effect.
Expel is a company that makes custom-cut patterns using the Ventureshield film, which is what I went with. Total installation was 600 for the bumper, grill, 24" along the hood and side fenders, side mirrors, headlights, and fog lights. It really doesn't matter which brand you choose... the installer is what makes the biggest difference. Some cars have minimal lines which make a DIY possible. The MS3 is NOT one of those cars due to the bends/lines in the bumper, grill and fog lights. It will take a professional 40% more time to do than standard cars.
I do a lot of fwy driving and have had some pretty hard impacts ranging from tire debris to gravel. Not one single mark so far in 6K. Bugs will leave a temporary stain which is bleached out by the sun in 48 hrs. On a rare occasion you may scrape something hard and cause the film to tear or ripple (like the side of a fence). It's $40.00-60.00 to patch over a new piece. It's much cheaper than sanding, painting, and blending... yet looks twice as good up close or from a distance.
IMO, it is the single best investment you can make on a 20K+ car. I got mine 1 week after purchasing my MS3. CWP is very tough to match, especially between metal and urethane. It made the purchase decision very easy for me. The film is truly invisible unless you try really hard to find it.
Here are some photos 1 day after installation. You'll see some moisture bubbles (normal) which disappeared after 7 days. My installer did come back to work out 2 bubbles in the film. Otherwise you'd never know it was there.
