The price is OK. I paid $400 for that array of coverage except I skipped the lights for now. The lights may get hot and I wanted to better understand what heat does to the 3M material.
Also, I think the lights should be of heavier material. Maybe double thickness.
It is said to be removable without harm, though I bet you never do that once you see how inconspicuous it is and how great the paint protection.

I bought a clear wind deflector from Ventshade off of a Yahoo store. I am very happy to say that it works and looks great. I have a sterling silver 2K maxima with a few painful paint chips on the hood. With the clear deflector I wont be seeing any additional damage. Installation took about 20 minutes. I drilled 4 pilot holes to the underside of the hood. The holes line up very nicely and will not damage the top of the hood. The best feature it that you dont have to worry about the deflector ruining the looks of the car. I see a lot of black max drivers with the smoked deflectors.
The clear deflectors runs 71 bucks with shipping. Installs easily, and the best feature is the fact that its clear, so it will work with any color car you have.

I'd stash that money in the bank, let it collect interest (what little it will these days).
Then if I still had the car in 4 years or so, and when the bumber and hood are really chipped up, I'd have them completely repainted. Probably cost less than the $420.00.
