Clear Bra Template Fit?

Hey Guys,
I'm getting my FRS clear bra'd this weekend with Xpel Ultimate. The installer will be using the templates from Xpel for the full front of the car. Does anyone have close up pics of how these templates look when installed? How flush are the cuts to the panels of the car? Im wondering how visible the seams will be. Thanks

@GoForStoke I have the factory installed clear bra option on my FR-S. The panels aren't really precise/flush cut. Let me see if I can take a few photos.

It's hard to get a good angle... but here are a few pics! The bra covers lower part of the hood, r/l front fenders, and mirrors. It does not cover the front bumper. Let me know if you would like additional pics / angles / areas.

The Xpel templates fit pretty well as long as your installer knows what they're doing. There is enough material on the edges so that it can be wrapped over so that you don't see what is shown in the above posts.

Because most templates are used by lower experienced installers. Seamless is the only way to go
Plus you get what you pay for

there's option for the installer to plot wrap edges. I offer that option to my customers.
