If you're expecting the film to completely cover the car keep in mind that the front bar has a lot of complex angles in it. The PPF template has a lot of relief cuts in it to mould it to shape which means the film won't completely cover everything.

Also, don't expect them to wrap the film around every panel edge. For example, while it's pretty easy to wrap the bonnet around the edges of the panels, the film on the front bar stops a couple of mm short of the front head lights.

I still think it's worth it but if you wanted perfection you would need to ask for it and pay for it.
You'll never be 100% happy with a template because the edges are visible and will trap dirt eventually. Take it to someone skilled enough to custom cut and fit the front bar and you'll never see the edges as they're all tucked in behind the panels. I say 'skilled' because less skilled installers will leave razor blade cuts in your paint

If you're in Melbourne, happy to meet up at some stage and show you what a high quality ppf installation looks like.
Lol false. A modified pattern can look as good as a bulk install. It does require a lot of skill but saying a custom install is the only way to make it look good is false. PPF is very hard regardless.

OP-wrap the whole car. It's worth it
