Clear Bra

Hey guys
I recently bought an aero lip (oem) and a pair of m3 side skirts (replica), and I am debating whether or not to clear bra both of them. I called someone and got a quote of around 200-250 for both of them wrapped. He uses Exel (10 year warrenty) or something like that for the brand of clear bra. I searched around and saw that many people don't end up clear wrapping their side skirts.
So what do you guys think?

P.S I live in Chicago and the winters are tough here.

I have a clear bra on my car and installed it myself.
Only did the front of the car. Side skirts seem obsessive.

Has anyone on here done their side skirts or do people think it's obsessive? the Aero lip makes sense but normally how prone to chips is the lip?

I guess it depends where you get the rock chips. I'm thinking of just putting a clear bra on my aero lip myself and leaving the m3 side skirts unwrapped(I can just place the clear bra in separate pieces yet still trying to minimize the appearance of the clear bra edges) . I'm just wondering how prone to rock chips are typical side skirts on an e92?
