It's not horrible but if you have never done anything similar it will be difficult. I used to tint my windows and do my own vinyl work back on the day when I was too poor to pay someone to do it so I've had a bit of practice with that kind of thing. The main bumper is by far the hardest part. The flat surfaces are really easy.

Got any pics of the job?


It isn't too difficult, you just have to make sure you've got a little patience, steady hand, lots of slip solution, and a little sense. I've been thinking about getting some bulk stock and doing it myself as well.

M Sport vert was $1600 for Xpel full front, including hood, fenders, lights, mirrors, and fogs. Did not want to see lines. Your bumper has lots of angles. I'm sure it is not easy to cut and apply even with a template. And you need to keep dust and dirt out during the install. You really can't tell its on unless you look at the edge of a panel.
