Anyone had issues with complete hood protective film?
In about two weeks, I'm scheduled to get a clear bra on the front end (bumper cover), front fenders, headlights, mirrors, and small areas behind the rear wheels. What is in question is my hood. I have among the best, if not the very best installer in Houston-doing this. Installation is not my concern, heat is. I have a friend who had his entire Bentley hood done, and says his has had some distortion/issues with heat. I'm trying to decide if I do the entire hood, which the installer is presently planning to do, or just the front of the hood. Venture shield is the product/brand. Any input/experience? Thanks.

You have to make sure you get a good film. I used Stealth approved Suntek PPF-C on the M5 but used Xpel Ultimate on our Cayenne full hood. Xpel yellowed sliglty after a year or so.

I can't see why it would make a difference if you are covering the entire hood or just a portion. Covering the the hood isn't going to increase the heat retention. If heat is an issue with the film on the hood, I suspect it would be an issue either way.

I decided to do only 1/4 hood/fenders all the front end and mirrors. No problems so far. 10months Expel Ultimate also.
