According to 3M's website, their protective film comes in two thicknesses.
Q. Is Scotchgard™ Paint Protection Film available in 3-mil thickness?
A. This product is available in two thicknesses only: 8 mils (a 6-mil film base with 2-mil adhesive) and 14 mils (a 12-mil film base with 2-mil adhesive.)
Q. When should 14-mil Scotchgard™ Paint Protect Film be used?
A. The 14-mil film should be used on flat or smooth surfaces with greater exposure to stone chips, bug damage or weathering, such as racing and off-road vehicles.
VentureShield uses 7510 – 8mil (150 micron) or 7514 – 15mil (300 micron).
Does anyone here knows what thickness installers are using in our cars?
Anyone have any experience using both types of films thickness ?
Thanks,
Warrionex

I've never actually used one before, but I just got my IS 2 days ago, so I'm definitely wanting to put one on very very soon - I'm going to have to do some reading, first, so this will help.

Thickness matters not much; both 3M and Ventureshield have the best qualities in the market. The installation job matters much more than the film, and I am sure good installer will only use top quality films.
Will a installer adapt new product for your car? I guess not; also a good installer will not use "pre-cut template" because these computer template files won't fit well.
Good luck with your searching
