I've done it myself in the past and I'm "OK" at relatively flat body panels but the front end is just so hard. So I had a pro do it and I'm glad I did.

It's Suntek Ultra Matte PPF. I probably would have preferred Xpel Stealth but this is the brand that the wrap-guy recommended.

The trade-offs as I understand it are:
Xpel is thicker and more protective against chips.
Suntek has a smoother finish and looks nicer.

protection was my primary goal but hopefully Suntek Ultra will hold up

Yeah me too. I flip-flopped between gloss and matte.
Matte I thought was more unique and looked nicer, but I think the dealership might give me crap about it being harder to resell if I trade it in. I definitely don't want to take the wrap off as I've heard stories about problems.
