I think tanabe is very low key and is quite nice (from reading others reviews and youtube videos)

I have Ventureshield and it looks pretty much invisible. The pre-cut film does leave lines on the front bumper though. But i got a custom Full Hood coverage so it depends on your installer and what package you choose.

What is the most practical place to install the film?

The stealerships will outsource the job, So might as well find your own installer where you know the quality of the job unless you worked into your deal. I think they can install virtually anything but will charge an arm and a leg for any installation.

Damn, how long does it take to install the clearbra. I was hoping the stealership could have done it so I wouldn't have to be deprived of my car.

it's pretty easy to install the tanabe. I did mine in 30 mins this past saturday. It's a pretty straight forward swap. The hardest part is getting the piping off the rubber hangers.
A clear bra should take about 1.5-2hrs by a professional. At least thats how it took the aerotect guys to do mine.

Yeah it depends on the installer and conditions haha. My installer took around 3 hours because they were mobile at the time and it was during one of those storms in January. So It was pouring and they were installing a full hood and bumper. The stuff wouldnt stick when it was that wet out. BUT the job came out perfect! and my front end just Shines all day now!

I am going to get the full hood and bumper done as well. What else is vulnerable to rock chips on the car?
7510 – 8mil (150 micron) or 7514 – 15mil (300 micron)?

A spoiler from sewell is around 170? and installation is up to you. Either by dealer or by yourself.
There is two methods of installation:
1. Drilled into the bumper(like OEM)
2. Or Double stick 3M taped.
