Unbiased product review:
I've added paint protection film to a few of my cars, but hadn't tried XPEL Ultimate until today. I had it installed on my new '15 TEP, and the stuff is outstanding. The look of it is clean, and with the 18" film it fits just about perfect all the way up to the hood scoop. I would highly recommend using XPEL over the factory (likely venture shield) junk, or other 3M products. It looks cleaner, and carries with it a much stronger 10 yr warranty.
The shop did a great job, and I got it done for ~$200. The dealer was quoting me $400 for just the hood. This shop did 18" on the hood (bigger area of the hood than the dealer), the fenders and the mirrors for ~$200. I wasn't as concerned with the bumper, since it's a different paint compound and much more resistant to chipping.
Definitely an upgrade I would recommend. $200 well spent to keep chips away from that poor hood.
