I've done a little bit of PPF on my car. Some notes I have is to make sure you use the correct solution for slip(baby soap and water works well) and tack(Isopropyl Alcohol diluted with water). Don't put any waxes or sealants on the car before the ppf because it will make the ppf getting to stick a B****. A steamer may not be necessary, but it could possibly help if you need to stretch the film at all. And finally, the most important tools are a good squeegee, sharp knife, and a steady hand as ppf is hard to cut if you are not doing precut pieces.
It's definitely not going to be easy and I'd recommend either having it done or getting some smaller pieces and practicing first before you dive into the more complicated areas. Also, there may be some small bubbles that you can see after, but those will dissolve in a few days so don't be too worried about those unless they are pretty big.

If you have never installed vinyl stripes, tint or any kind of film. I would not attempt to do this by yourself. It is really easy to get dirt/hair/dust behind the film. It's easy to get creases and not stretch the ppf enough. It's easy to make ppf look like crap. I've done PPF on three cars now by myself and the first one was just not great. That was even after having experience doing vinyl stripes and tint before. Find someone who will offer a warranty on their work.

I did mine myself (except the front nose, paid to have that done) using a precut kit from tintzoom.com. They have very high quality kits and include most of what you need to do the job.
