n4ally2, to minimize how visible the film is, you want to cover whole panels (edge to edge) and not leave any film edges across panels. Hence, I recommend covering the bumper, headlights, WHOLE hood, and WHOLE front fenders (instead of partial hood and fenders which will leave a long edge line across the panels that will accumulate wax and dirt, thus become more visible with time). It will cost a few $100 more but IMO it's well worth it.

eslai, I don't think you can wrap the film AROUND the panels. On mine, it stops right at the end of each panel. One would have to dismantle the whole car to be able to wrap all around each panel, and that would be going a tad to far, I think.

dj, there are instructions on removing the film (with some hairdryer and patience) and professionals do it regularly without any problems to the paint. That's why it's important that the film is applied to fully cured paint so that the adhesive doesn't react with it.

Btw, I'm very happy with it so far.

Hope this helps.

Z.
