I just had mine done last week for $800 with the door handles and Mirrors. I am like Ashley, I noticed a couple microscopic pieces of dirt or whatever under mine and wasn't digging it at all. I'm sure no one will ever see it, but for almost a Grand you would think the fit and the quality of work would be perfect.

Default bad installation

yes, depends on the material they use, the best one on the market right now is 3m or venture film, and yes it shouldn't be lifting at all, you should make sure that the installer is 3m certified, the carshop in alhambra is 3m certified, did the place give you a warranty card with the installer Id number so you can call in for the warranty. but kit do leave gaps, but is the installer job to tighting the gap. just take it back.....how much they charge you, if you don't mind saying? n is it a complete hood rap????

They only gave me a very simple invoice with how much I paid with their company name that's it. Could you tell from my invoice that I am possible to get the real warranty card from 3M? Thank you

PS: By the way I paid $500 for the job.

I'm 99% sure you will. Part of your paint is out in the sun while the other is below the clear bra, just like tan line. lol
