A 12” hood is pretty much the minimum coverage you may want to consider for the hood.  The top edge of the film may not reach high enough to offer protection for your fender tips, & a lot of hood area will still be exposed.

18” of hood coverage usually gives sufficient protection for most vehicles.  On some vehicles, this would be considered a ‘minimum coverage’. You will usually get a bit of the fender tips protected with this amount of film.

24” of hood protection should be good protection for just about any vehicle out there.  Usually a large section of the fender tips will be protected also.

Covering the full hood in one large sheet is the ultimate in protection!  Plus, this makes it VERY difficult to tell your car has any film on it at all. For car shows, this is the way to go.

Covering the full fenders usually goes right along with covering the full hood.  Nearly invisible coverage, & total protection will not detract from the car’s looks that attracted you in the first place.

The front bumper takes the most hits by far.  Bugs, rocks, debris on the roads & on the track will tear up a bumper quickly.

Your Mirrors catch all kinds of flying objects.  People rub against them in parking lots, & sometimes they will catch the edge of a garage door or the mailbox, when pulling close!

Ever open your door in the garage or in a parking lot, only to bump into the car or bike next to your car with the edge of the door?  Happens all the time.  Door edge protects the outside ¼ “!

Headlights usually don’t get cracked or broken.  They get sand BLASTED!

The same film that protects your paint will protect your headlights.  Helps prevent ‘yellowing’ too!

The A-Pillars, running up either side of the windshield get pelted because they are forward facing.  Usually people get the A-Pillars covered along with the leading 12” of the roof.

The front 12” or so of the roof also is at risk of being hit by bugs, rocks, etc.  Usually customers who get the roof edge protected will get the A-Pillars covered also.

The Rocker Panels are constantly bombarded with rocks thrown down the side of the car by the front tires.  This is the area below the doors on most cars, but protection can go up the doors too.

The trunk ledge is where golf clubs, suitcases, grocery bags, etc are likely to rub or scratch the top of the back bumper.  While you may be very careful putting things in your trunk, are others?

Even your full back bumper can be protected. This can help save you from ‘minor’ parking lot rubs while backing, or run-away shopping carts.

The rear tires are constantly picking up rocks & throwing them against your lower back bumper. This “tire splash” area can show damage with very few miles.
