i am a huge advocate of the clear bra - i am a certified installer and have installed over 200 kits on all types of vehicles. i will never own a car without this protection at time of purchase. as many know - i am a bit compulsive and a tad over the top about my vehicles cleanliness and care.
the only negatives of the clear bra - some films tend to yellow over time (especially notable on white cars) - the other negative - a poor installation experience. always be certain to see ones work before committing to the installer and always use a pre-cut kit (such as xpel) versus a universal bulk piece and having it cut while being installed on your vehicle (trimming is an art - many don't have this skill without damaging the paint).
below is a full kit (hood/bumper/headlamps) i installed on my wifes '08 xc90 v8 sport.
