Yes, I would try to do the install myself,
IF I could do it all over again. It really looked easy. Just clean the area, spray down that area and apply some spray to the back of the clear foil. Gently position the pre cut out - it will float on the soapy solution. Then start working the air bubbles outwards with a C or squigy.
The BMW kits were made well. Except for the hood piece which was a bit short/small I thought. It leaves about 3mm of the hood edges exposed. And its about 1mm short on the front of the hood nose edge. I think IF I were to do it again I would only order the bumper kit and go custom on the rest of the car. I had the lady do custom wrap for the M-bumper kenards(brake/oil cooler ducts) and I had her apply some foil to around the kidney grill area too. But by that time she had ran out of foil! Because she wasn't planning on using her supplies. Just mine. lol It all turned out very well. I think. Only time will tell.
Here are some better pics of what each BMW kit consists of:
Hood and fendar area coverage...
Bumper and wheel arches coverage...
Notice how the kit stops just short of teh front euro tag. I removed my tag and had the installer apply some foil to the entire inner bumper area. bc one day I might move back to the states!
I also applied some "foil" to the three painted areas around the kidney grills.
Can you see where the Clear Bra ends?
How about here? I put my camera case on the edge of the clear bra foil line.
