I have the full install.
I guess the question would be is there a reason that you wouldn't want to do complete hood and fender? Do you have more of a specific question about the hood and fender install?
I have an xpel kit on my car and it is awesome. I know that others (including myself) here in the forum have also done things like the wheel openings, under the gas cap, door sills, etc.

On my previous 996, I had hood, fender, and bumpers done.
On my new Turbo, I only did the bumper.
My reasoning... I just like the clean look of the car without it and Seal Gray hides chips fairly well.
You don't see it on the bumper at all, but you do see it on the hood and fender. It's not glaring, but you notice it, and it just looks so much prettier clean. IMO
When I'm at the track, I put a leather bra on the hood, but then remove it for the drive home.

I suggest getting the whole thing. Mirrors and everything. I think the small investment is worth saving the paint. I cringe every time that I see stone chips on my car that could have been stopped.

I also have the full X-pel kit on my car and I am very happy with it. You can see a line on the hood and fenders at certain angles. It doesn't bother me at all, but I am not surprised that others don't like it. I hate stone chips so this has saved the front end of my car from damage.
