I can't tell you anything about it long term yet, but I recently had
this done to my van and I'm very pleased with the results so far.

My only regret is that after the fact I found out there are a number
of other clear bras out there and some are thicker (possibly
protecting more) so I might have tried to go wtith those instead.

After a repaint of the front end I had a clear bra put on to cover the
entire front end, from the door gaps on the left and right, and from
the bumper all the way up the A pillars to the top of the van. IIRC
the job cost $275 Canadian plus tax. In retrospect I think the guy
underestimated the difficulty of the job.

For a vanagon you'll want to get an installer with LOTS of experience,
The guy who did my van really knew what he was doing but said that no
one else in the shop would have tried it because of the many sharp
varainces and angles.

P.S. I'm too lazy to find out if this is near the bay area but the
only installer I know in California (and I have no personal experience
with them) is:

StickerCity.com
