It was installed on our Mazda 626 when we bought it. It covers the first
8-10" of the hood. In this application it becomes noticeable because the
film creates a line across the hood. This line then collects a bit of
dirt and you have a thin black line across the hood.
I your case I would think the installer would be able to hide the edges .
The only other problem that I think you would encounter is that a large
enough impact would tear the film. on a bumper cover or lower valance
this might be a common occurrence. The tears will also get the little
black line around them making them moderately noticeable.
This had happened to the film on the 626. The tears were there when we
bought it and I can't think what had to have hit the hood to tear the
film. It did not scratch the paint though.
