Not a fan of 3M, plus with kits like that, it leave you no room for error if the cut-out does not fit perfectly.

Plus, have you ever tried applying one?

If you're not a pro you will F up and that's $300 down the drain. Pre-cut is fine, they're generally precise but I after, 3M doesn't have the best rep when it comes to paint protection. Xpel Ultimate, Suntek and Clearshield Pro are better options.

Buy a smaller piece first like headlight, mirror caps, etc. Practice with those and if you get the hang of it then consider buying a larger kit for DIY.

I had the BMW clear bra installed on my car. I am happy with it. I think some of the custom installs might be better for coverage though.
