My 2SS will be in soon - hopefully this week as the rail car arrived last week. I'm going to have the entire front bumper and hood paint protected with film (clear bra). Question: should the clear bra be applied before or after the stripes are applied?

The stripes are CGM hockey style, and the dealer has no issue either way and my clear bra installer said he never had the option to clear bra before the stripes were put on. The installer did say that I'd see a ridge on the stripes and possibly some small bubbling with the clear bra installed over the stripes, yet his general opinion was to install the stripes and then clear bra. I'm thinking the opposite since the stripes are matt finish and clear bra over them would make them shine. Need some help please!
