The front splitter is fine; but the painted areas by the headlights and below have some odd cuts near both the ride and left side. When I arrived to pick up the car today; the installer had already left so I'm not sure if this is normal or if the front needs to be redone.

For those of you that have the clear bra...does the clear bra run seamless to the corners by the headlights or stop short? Likewise just above the splitter / spoiler does the clear bra run smooth or have some odd cuts. Finally, in the very center of the bumper there's a "v" there too.

I tried to point these out in the following pictures.

Take a look and let me know if your clear bra has these...

Doesn't seem I can get the pictures to upload in the rotation...it keeps changing. Anyway curious if this is normal or if I should get the front redone.
I have similar seams on my frontend with Xpel precut PPF, just the natural of the beast. Frontend has so many compounded features, especially around the headlights.

Installers cut the material at their shop on a machine programed for the template, they can extend the edges if they choose. Like my hood, they did so to tuck the PPF under the extractor... rather than outline it
