Have you tried these for yourself? Curious as to how much glare it might add (if any) and whether it's worth doing in general.

Here is some result for anyone who is interested. I do not recommend to those perfectionists as it is a very difficult corner to get a nice job done ![IMG][/IMG]

Which one did you take? OEM look? Of the glossy? Says the glossy is self healing.

Difficult to apply? I am almost afraid I am going to scratch it even more when applying

Self promotion, never.. I'm purely speculating..

Regardless would be great to see a install guide as the PPF appears to be a multi piece item based on the description.

Was a self promotion. Saw his post on a Facebook group. AKaye no need to be sneaky here! 🙂

Do you have an installation video you could share?

That was the matte kit, please let me know if you have any other questions
Hey Alex - is there much glade with the non-matte version? Will be ordering mine soon, but stuck between matte/non-matte. Thanks!
