Hey Michael!
I'm in Michigan, where the roads are nothing but potholes. It looks like a
war zone every freeking winter. I put a 'bra on my '92 and used it for 4-5
years before the plastic (damned cost reductions!!) clamp for the strap
broke. You have to work pretty aggressively to keep the dirt off of the felt
to keep from scratching the clear coat. For my '01 I opted for a bug
deflector. I've only had the truck since late October, so I can't really
comment on the success rate of protection yet. I already have a divot out of
the windshield though :(
If you want to take to 'bra route, I highly suggest you use a polish on the
hood to help protect the paint. I say polish over a wax as waxes to not
stack layers. Every new coat takes the old off. Where a polish system will
build the protection. I use http://www.zainobros.com along with several
people here at work. You have to see and feel the vehicles after they have
this product on them. It's amazing!
Good luck with the decision!

What have you done to protect the finish on the nose of your trucks from
debris that gets kicked up from traffic (especially youse guys up
north?)
LeBra seems to be a good option, but has anyone had any trouble with it
rubbing the paint?
Eastwood makes a urethane film that I plan on using on the fender
bottoms, but am not too sure how it would look pasted all over the
grill.
