Paint Protection Film is very difficult to install! You can probably do it yourself, but it will not look nearly as good as a professional install job. When done correctly, it should be virtually invisible with the exception of the line across the hood. Additonally, 3M film is the hardest to install as the adhesive is the most aggessive and very, very easy to blemish during the installation process. 3M film is good, but not the best film in my opinion. XPEL has a 7 year warranty and goes on the car better.
