I didn't do the paint protection myself. Everything listed below and the full hood was only $600 but I know the guy very well so he gave me quite a deal. Don't try to do it yourself as it could take a while and you need some experience putting it on to make it look really good. I have bumped into a poll and all I had to do was wipe off the paint protection with a white cloth to get some of it that was white off and it looked brand new still. I find that I rather have it for getting bugs of the front easier, the rocks thrown up off the highway, and basically others. I don't worry too much about me (but I did bump the pole.

I did 30" of the hood at first and then realized I wanted to do the entire hood because you can't see a slight line across the hood. Again, go ahead and do the full hood and you won't regret it.
