Xpel pre-cut PPF DIY kits

Has anyone bought and installed any of these kits on the G42?

Considering getting the front bumper kit, and possibly hood/fenders.

Nope, but I will be getting it installed by my detailer when I eventually get the car next year:-

Full Front Xpel PPF Protection Package including Side Sills consisting of Bonnet, Front Wings, Headlights, Front Bumper and Side Sills

New Car Detail and Xpel Fusion 2.0 Ceramic coating on PPF and Paintwork

Wheels removed, Ceramic Coated using Xpel Fusion 2.0 including Exhaust Tips

I cannot wait and believe it to be a good investment.

I did. Hood, bumper, front fenders, mirrors, A pillar, partial roof, side skirts, around rear wheels. That was my first time doing it so some areas have tiny bit of bubbles. Very happy I took that path since it was way way cheaper than doing it by a pro. I bought this kit online from North Tints. I'm the image below you can see all the pieces. Orange lines need be wrapped around the edge.

Cool, thanks. I have experience with tinting so I think I can pull it off. I don't care if it's not 100% flawless

What tools/sprays did you need to buy to do this install? Planning on just the front bumper.

I just got two sprayers from lowes, baby soap, alcohol and squeegee. Just remember that you can pull and stretch the film. Also heat gun can be used but it's really rare.
