I was happy with the results. Had my Gen 1 PPF'd in Stek. This time, I went with Xpel and the place did a really clean job.
If you notice the front license plate bulge, the edges aren't smooth enough for the ppf to stay in one piece. My installer actually covered the pre-drilled (JDM) holes. I'll have to puncture them with a knife and install a JDM->USDM plate bracket if I plan to install a front plate in the future.
If you're on the fence about PPF, I'd strongly suggest going for it. If you're OCD about your car in any way, just do it! I waited 6 months on my gen 1 and it had already been peppered to hell with tiny chips during that time - the PPF ended up protecting it, but also make those chips stand out even more to me. The install prices can hurt, but on the bright side, as long as your dealership doesn't ruin your paint it shouldn't require a serious paint correction, if any (might be able to negotiate a cheaper price as most places include a paint correction in their quotes). I was able to get mine for ~$600 for the bumper and headlights in SoCal.
