Clear Bra over Hood

Has anyone had good luck with your clear bra being applied over the SUPER DUTY on the hoods? One of the first things im doing is the hood, fenders and up the door/body to the body line. My concern is the film staying down into the indented letters on the hood.

My installer had trouble with it staying down around the letters. Truck is currently back in the shop where they will try to redo it.

I drove mine straight from the dealer to the clear bra guy. You can see a few small bubbles down in the corners of the letters, but you really have to look, and I'm more interested in the protection provided than it being completely invisible.

If it's a good quality clear vinyl, I am very skeptical of it staying in those letters without bubbling. Itll be too thick. They make them cut out. If you do it you can always try and cut it yourself.

Hope this info helps. Let us know if we can answer any questions or be of assistance.
