I did the full front end kit with mirrors and like 10 inches on the fender, plus the headlights. The hood line is about 12 inches away from the top of the hood.
Honestly, I hate clear bra products but I convinced myself to do it because my guy is GOOOOOOD. He is a 46 year old major airline pilot and his attention to detail is just insane. Now that the Xpel Ultimate is on the car I can say that I don't regret it one bit. In the daylight you can't even see the hoodline. Check out the pictures below, I went from far away to right up close so you can see how close you have to get to even see that it is on the car. Car is filthy right now from the rain, sure does make the wheels look bright as hell.. I might have them painted oxford white to make the contrast less noticeable.
And here is your profile picture, it is on Swift Spec-R's.
I'm thinking about actually having my guy do the Xpel on the wheels believe it or not. It would be pretty easy to cut out the pattern, just time consuming. It would protect against brake dust like crazy! For now I'm just going to put some Sonax Polymer on it.
