X-pel is becoming very popular. Particularly for windshields.

THe pre-cut clear bra kits are tough. I think it has a lot to do with after-market not really getting the fit to be precise. The factory kits are different story but so are their prices. I think its definitely a DIY if you can source the big sheets inexpensively and do some practicing with the cheaper stuff on a few beater cars, maybe some smaller items like a laptop, anything with a curve that is made of a plastic surface. They key to it seems to be getting all of the moisture out during squeegee and that the surface is well prep'd. if you get air pockets in there and the paint is not CLEAN the film will just magnify the mistakes.
