Also, when the car gets dirty (again, less than one week being on the car), the edges pick up dirt under the film like you would get under finger nails. I'd suggest that you pass on the films except for maybe the headlights and hood since these are the only areas that the film is not lifting off.
If he runs a reputable business he should redo those affected pieces for free. I would take it to him. No way should they peal back like that.

spoke with installer who stands behind the product. Replaced the pieces that were peeling. Intricate bumper piece was simply "trimmed" back a bit at the edges and seems to have improved. Mirror install was complex as well. Installer suggested trimming back the coverage so that there would not be as much stretch around the curves. So far so good. I expect that the coverage, although not perfect or completely esthetically pleasing, will save my car this track season. I guess I could peel off shield when it gets abused.
