I'm taking the car to my installer (no, I would NEVER attempt this myself!!!) today for an estimate and a discussion about how best to install it. I was hoping others would have done a full nose wrap already so I can get more ideas.
I'm still thinking in order to get the full front end done, and assuming the maximum width of PPF is 60" like my installer told me, then I will have to do the front horizontal area (in front of the hood) in a separate section. This way the fenders can be done in one piece, and then mate them to that front section in the valley where they meet. See attached crude drawing.
The other thought my installer had was make the seams meet at the stripes to help hide the seam line.
I will tell you that I have the impact area (spat) done on my GT350 and therefore there's a large floating end of film that is all but invisible and does't bother me a bit. I've also had another car that had some seams that were also pretty hidden.
The biggest thing with seams is that it's an area that can collect dirt and then cause the seam to be visible or worse, peel.
