clear bra for hood?

I've been looking into getting the front of my car wrapped and was quoted $650 for bumper + fenders + full hood.
For bumper alone they said $315. I honestly don't think it's worth it to pay another $300 just for the hood alone since it's the bumper that is most prone to small rock chips... What do you guys think?

Actually, the leading edge of the hood is very prone to rock chips as is more difficult to repaint than the bumper.

This. The first feet or so of the hood is very prone to chipping. The reality is the entire hood and even windshield.
