3M is a terrible film to go with on black. It has entirely too much orange peel in it and really stands out on black. Look at the bottom of this webpage and you will see what 3M looks like compared to VentureShield Ultra on the same black Viper GTS.

That is why I do not install 3M. I am sure had you gone with Venture you would have been much happier and had better results.
