If you're as anal as I am, consider buying an inexpensive clear bra kit and self-applying it in Germany before driving away from the delivery center, then removing it at the port drop-off and getting a professional installation in the US. A front-end kit should only cost a few hundred dollars as temporary protection.

One reason I didn't do ED in the winter is because I cringe at the thought of rock chips and "power sanding" on fresh paint at 150MPH. As it is I drove my car, with 7 miles on the odo, from BMW Seattle directly to the detail shop for a Ventureshield treatment. It was painful to leave the car for two days just minutes after taking delivery, but the results are worth it.
