I'd guess that the cheaper film is thinner and more prone to the dreaded yellowing that happens over time but don't have any direct experience myself. I went the suntek route and had a local shop wrap basically the whole front half of my nismo. Maybe see if any other kits the seller offers has a review?

Mind telling the price for that? I need this done after I get my front end repainted... damn rock chips and whatnot.

I think it came in around $1,100 including the pillars and basically every part of the bumper. Looks great and gives me much more peace of mind driving around in MN.

but i recently found a local tinter/clear bra installer dat carries xpel and 3m precuts so probably will just buy local from now on.

btw, if u can find an installer dat does installs from the rolls, i recommend u go dat route.

pre cuts are good for very complicated contours but for a car like the Z, it can be easily done from a roll.

Man, hefty price... but I guess it's worth it not having to worry about rock chips all the time.

Yea, I thought the same when I was looking into it but after getting quotes in my area these guys were the best priced and do excellent work. Self healing + 5 year warranty. 10/10 would do it again.

One thing if you decide to buy the kit you linked to: see if they can supply a piece that covers the entire hood. The piece shown in their diagram is known as a "bikini cut" and the line crossing the hood from left to right is quite noticeable and will probably bother you.

Amazon has one cut like that for $290.
No reviews either.
