Default NY/NJ area clear bra?

Looking to give my hood (full) and front bumper the 3M treatment. Looking for any reccomendations in the NYC metro area. Thanks.

p.s.
I had the hood repainted and the shop guy said they use some new clear coat called hyper clear that eliminates the need to wait months until you can wax or clear bra.

After seeing an excellent job done on another 996, I dropped my car off today at "All in the Details" located in Morristown. 973-285-9498. I'll let you know how it comes out.

Thanks guys.I had one of those pre cut kits that partially covered the hood, the whole front bumper, portions of the fenders and the mirrors. It did a great job of keeping the 65mph chips but it started to turn yellow after about four or five seasons. Either way it sucks to look at lousy looking touch ups.

I second "All in the Details" in Morristown. Plus instead of using the pre-cut kits that leave a little unexposed border all around the edge, they will custom cut and wrap around the edges. This way down the road your car won't look like you do after too much sun while wearing sunglasses...

Thumbs up for the most part. I did not ask but "assumed" I would get the custom installation that I had seen on my friends car, as it was also a 996. Well it looks like they applied a pre-cut piece. I slight gap between the edge of the hood. Most people will not notice it but I know it is there. The rest of the install looks great. Yea I know what happens when you assume.....my bad for not asking.
