First of all, Huge thanks to Tony (exodus_2) for installing the protection film for me!  :sign0098:

Following is the easy step by step instructions on how to apply the protection film onto the bumper yourself without getting ripped off by the dealership:

1. Clean the bumper by using soap water, after the bumper is cleaned and dried then spread another coat of soap water onto the bumper:



2. Align the center of the film (there is a marking on the cover piece) with the center of the bumper/trunk:



3. Spread soap water onto the protection film then apply it onto the bumper. After the film is correctly placed, use a squeegee to squeeze out the water as much as you can:

4. Peel one side off then squeeze out more water:

5. Repeat step 4 for the other side:

6. Squeeze the water out around the edge of the bumper and then wait for it to dry:

ohhhh forgot the mension this but you can use this to do window tint(little more complicated though), racing stripes, clear protection films, and vinyls without air bubbles or dirt(specially clear films make sure you clean the surface really good before you apply it) and the key is use a lots of soap water. it will move around everywhere but it's easier then applying the sticker or film right onto the car.
