Hood Protector?
As a new Porsche owner (2014 991), I'm trying to learn all the "in" things that come with long term knowledge. Have any of you bought this:

the hood protector? Is it worth having?

Anyone actually have a ding happen??
Overpriced for a piece of plastic IMO.
Just don't put stuff in the frunk that goes above the level of the rubber gaskets.
The family is well aware and I don't expect strangers to be loading my frunk with goods.

At least it looks cool against lighter colors 
Around last Christmas they had a special on them (ordering direct). Picked one up then. Lid Liner posts on here too occasionally.

I'm very careful regardless, but was just one of those overkill things we love

quite a few things porsche related is overpriced.
I bought one of these years ago for the 991.1 and transferred it over to my 991.2 when I picked it up.
I like the piece of mind that a buckle or something from a soft bag I cram in the trunk doesn't poke the hood.
