i finally found the word I was looking for to describe my front bumper, according to the bodyshop they're called "sand blasted" chips.. not actual chunks but so tiny its pinhead size.

More than a track pack spoiler? I personally would only need the small segment between the front of the hood and heat extractor (passenger side).

The piece you need only comes in a kit from the heat extractor to the front nose I know I just replaced mine under warranty cant just get a piece and never seen such bad stuff its not like real vinyl like its silk screened on PPF just watch when pressure washing your car.

A front kit cut mirrors forward should be about 600.00 to 700.00 US direct plus 200.00 cash to a private installer is about right if you ordered from me I'll cut it and ship it to you for 700.00 Canadian which should be about 480.00 US dollars plus shipping.
No chips, dents or scratches yet... Crossing my fingers, legs & eyes !

If you have another front kit available , I'm interested. I work with a guy who use to be in the business. Did graphic wraps for some NASCAR teams. He's more than capable to install it on my car.

That's apparently the D part number. Also keep in mind, those are list prices. OE parts distributors can likely knock a significant amount off of them.

Or just go through Big Worm or whoever for replicas. There's nothing special about these things at all. The '13 Boss stripes were a different story.

I reached out to Big Worm months ago about some custom work. They claim to be unable to match the OEM stripes.:shrug:

Maybe a copyright thing? But people here have had custom ones done with things like the outside accent stripe being a different color at least.

I put Xpel Ultimate on the entire front end of my 2015 Corolla. Overall cost was $1000 professionally installed and Xpel has a 10 year warranty. My front end looks brand new still. The first thing I think I'll do when grabbing a new Mustang is instantly take it to get the entire front clear bra'd again. Several great brands out there including 3M and Suntek. They've all made vast improvements in their products.

Also, I can't tell a difference in haze or coloring with the Xpel on like some people can. I can't even tell it has the protection on unless my face is up close to it.

I had 3m protection done on the whole front end before I even drove the car home. Then with only 150 miles on the car was driving to the World of Wheels car show (got a first place!), and got a rock chip on the windshield right at eye level!
