congrats on your purchase and welcome to NICO...
...well, I never had a bra -- the black 'leather type' before, but I had clear bra's put on a few of my cars and they've been great...I'm waiting until I get my front bumper done then I'll put it on the M
here in Cali, the only things I was afraid of were the rock chips when driving high speeds...but I'm sure it'll give you protection while you're driving to the mountains...
positives = you don't have to worry about taking it off...it looks like nothing is on your car...you get great protection year 'round
negatives = some installs can be expensive...I only had the front bumpers done, (some folks get side mirrors and complete hood done)
here's a link, but just google for a shop nearest you..
