My preferences:
1. Ignore it. It's a car, meant to be used, not kept in pristine condition.
2. Clear bra. One of the only mods I wish I'd done to my turbo Miata.
3. You could try Rejex, which is a polymer protectant made by the same company as CorrosionX. IME it worked only OK and didn't look as good as some of the other products I had on hand at the time.

Turtle Wax Bug and Tar Remover.
If you will follow a proper wash regimen, and use quality wax, the bugs become that much easier to remove, and won't damage a thing. (trust me, if I can and do, anybody can)
Contact Weiner for really good advice and materials. He knows this stuff as well as he knows engines and suspensions.

Clear bra, wash and then use wax after you wash.

You'll probably want to find a local professional installer who does custom cut kits. Precut kits usually look like crap. Well installed custom cut kits will look like nothing is on the car since the installer hides all edges and whatnot.

Drifting
my mechanic offers this service , I emailed him for a ballpark estimate. Bugs don't bother me, but I find a new stone chip after every other drive.
