From what I read, applying this isn't rocket science, but the proper application is about 90% of the looks of the finished product. I'm handy and repair stuff and build stuff and I have a strong attention to detail, btw...
I just tried one of the pre-cut kits on my '13 Ford Fusion, and quickly came to the conclusion that this is a job for professionals. My attention to detail is obsessive, and I took my time. I'd never try it again.
