Paint protection film for 507

Has anyone done paint protection film on a 507? Is there a precut kit for the entire front with 507 hood?

Expel has a kit for the c63 but not the 507 edition.

Does a front only kit for a c63 work on a 507?

I would rather have the whole front but would lean toward precut.

I recently covered mine with Xpel Stealth. The installer used pre cut for the front bumper but used a sheet and custom cut for the entire hood. BUT, looking at Xpel's website, looks like they do have a pre cut pattern for the 507. Perhaps the pre cut does not cover the entire hood.

How much did it cost you and how much coverage did you do? Just trying to get an idea on cost.

$1050 for pre-cut front bumper and custom cut sheet for full hood.

Quotes went up to $1700 for custom cut front bumper and full hood. Looks much cleaner but I could not justify (to myself) the additional cost. Pre-cut does not wrap around all edges but people tell me they really can't tell until I point it out.

These are prices in Southern CA.

I had Xpel installed on the entire front and hood. My last car used a precut template, which looks fine. Problem is, you can get residue at the edges of the film, wax, debris, etc.
For the 507, I had it custom wrapped so no edges and is virtually invisible.
