Take some pics during the process. We can learn it from you. It's always interesting to DIY that and I don't know that the material is that cheap. I think it costs more than $120 for the whole car.

Who knows, but with the bumpers I think it would be easier.

Exactly. I figure the rest of the car is nice big pieces, no complex curves. The bumpers would be the hardest so I think it might be easier doing them while they are off the car.

don't use a heat gun, use a hair blow dryer. it's a lot easier to put on with no lube also. buying a teflon squeegee is a lot easier also. at least that's what i learned during my install.
