To my knowledge yes members use them and also the more expensive ones too. No I don't believe they yellow. We got a kit and I am very handy. It is beyond an art to get the hang of putting your own on. Ours is still in the tube with one piece cut up and still we couldn't get it to all fit where it was to. The on line Ebay seller I bought from has been professional to deal with. If you want one on the car pay to get it done IMHO

I had my new headlights covered with .012" film, but I had a pro do it. I found him on the XPEL "Find Dealer" website, but he talked me into Lamin-X film. When professionaly installed, it has a ifetime Warranty and he installed it for the same price I could buy the kit for. Win-win.

He said ~ $275 to do the whole front and mirrors.

I bought a kit off ebay . . . not too happy with it . . . it is a fit for the car, however, there is approximately 1/8" gap between the paint protector and the edge of the hood/fenders, etc. . . . you definetly need to have a heat gun to apply this . . . also, the one I got did not stick very well to the lines on the hood. The one thing though, is that it has not yellowed, and my car is white !

For my money, I would go with having the expensive product applied by a professional, with their guarantee. I know I will be taking this crap off my car and spending the $$$$ to have it done correctly. These ebay cheapo ones do not fit around the edges, leaving the edges prone to damage . . .
