Most software programs give you the option of extending the edges so you can wrap the film around the edges, at least mine does.

Gaps will also vary depending on on the installer as well which is actually the most important factor when choosing where to go for this service.

You also have to consider that there are limitations to how much the film will stretch and while having the adhesive stay intact

Does the film expend when exposed to heat? I gotta figure the adhesive holds the film.
The installer did mention that he left a gap to allow it to settle in and the lines should knit together.

Default Got mine done today, Audio Heaven

Just had mine done today at Audio Heaven. Partial hood, bumper and fender. Jeff is very nice and offer good service, he finished the whole job under 5 hours, and the job was done nicely too.

Only one drawback is the color, my car is the pearl white, so I can see the bra is a tad yellowish, especially on the hood, cos you can compare the difference right away, and it does take away the shininess of the white powder coat.

I will see how does the kit survive later, but the service from Jeff is exceptional!!!

I'll say the bra work well on all colors EXCEPT white.

cheers

Thats not good. Maybe they've changed film or the manufacturer is doing something different with the product. I have my entire hood wrapped and you cannot tell at all until your are about 2 feet away staring at and looking. If you werent specifically looking for the wrap, you would nver see it on my car. Most people are surprised when they find out its there.

And yes - mine is pearl white.

Maybe you have the entire hood wraped, so the difference is not that obvious.

The yellowish color (lower portion of the pic) is pretty obvious.
