I had picked up a couple small rock chips on my bumper so I decided to get a clear bra put on. I took my Edition 1 to Premier and had them install their Satin Guard over the matte finish and while it isn't perfect match it looks alright. I did the custom fit so that there are no visible seams to draw the eye to the bumper and make it less obvious.

Here is a quick photo I took with my phone, I'll try and get some better ones outdoors later.

yes, pls post some outdoor pics. Did you do just the bumper?
On my car the bumper is slightly different looking than the rest of the car. I would like to get the whole front clip done but most say it will look different than the rest of the car.
Anyone with direct experience of matte film protection??

Here are some more photos in the sunshine. This is when you would notice the difference the most. For the center piece under the lower grill they used the regular clear bra material to keep the glossy finish.

I don't see the difference lol

thanks for the pics, it helps to see in full sun. I notice some difference but the bumper has so much going on that your eye is occupied by everything else anyway.
Did Premier say they could do the hood and make it right?

You definitely need to keep the entire car the same. It looks off.
But you'd either have to do the whole car or none of the car!

It does look a little off but when the car is moving you won't really notice, mainly when it is parked you can see it. I take it to the track so it was either this or know that I likely have to reprint it later after a few years.

Premier can do the hood but I wouldn't recommend it, it costs allot and you will really notice the difference.

Oh now I see the difference lol. I didn't know where to look. Well yeah, you should wrap the whole car if money is not a problem.
