I did my own and its very time consuming... but its worth saying that you did it yourself. I had my last car installed the clear bra by a "professional" and he did all the mistakes like the pics on this post.

One thing, i think the fenders are suppose to be tucked into the engine area so there isnt any lines on the fender near the hood. At least thats how it is with my car.

really, i thought there were, i just measure up the curve around the headlight and then stretch everything to fit that.

On second look, i think you should have stretched the film so it meets the edge of the hood, to give it to the "seamless edge" look

Other then that, I think it looks good. Good job and i know the job wasnt easy too!

because of the pin stripe i can't it to lay flat on the car so the whole area around the stripe doesn't lay flat, i dont think you can really see it in the pics, but u can in real life
