What do you guys think?
$600 cover a 30in up hood and fenders
Headlights
Side mirrors
Front bumper
$1200 covers full hood and fenders plus all the other stuff above.
Is it worth $600 extra for full hood and fender coverage?
Need to decide in the next day

I would do the full hood and fenders. The break where the bra stops is prone to collecting dirt and peeling, if you do the entire hood and fenders you will not have these problems and possibly the best part, if it is done correctly, you will not even notice it! GL!
do it yourself, if you're serious about saving money. hood and fenders are among the easiest to do. otherwise, stick with just 30in. it's more than adequate.
i would also recommend doing the a-pillar and the front of the roof line.

why not go full on the hood and not full on the fenders? i worked in a body shop in the paint department. and there's been many occasions where there are plenty of rockchips past the clear bra, 30in coverage on the fenders are fine, that's more than enough to cover the front part of the fender bulge on the evo anyway.
and don't do it on the headlights, it's useless... plus, after awhile the film will turn yellowish, it doesnt matter what brand it is, all that heat from the headlight will turn it yellow (indication of heatburn)...
there's been many owners of high-end cars who got their hood paint stripped off and repainted due to rockchips passed the clear bra, and those people ended up getting the hood fully covered.

However, I do suggest the whole hood. About a week after I did 1/2 my hood, I got a rock chip about 2" above the line. /facepalm
Also $1200 is outrageous. I'd find someone else to do it.
I did 1/2 my hood, fenders, bumper, aero lip, mirrors, 1/2 rear doors for $480 with Ventureshield lifetime warranty.

Yah +1. On my GG you can't see the line unless you are 1' away.

um...i have RR and no one ever sees it until it's up close...
you'd be hard pressed to find any such lines in the pics i've taken of my car as well.
sounds like you're already set for getting full. i'll go ahead and say it though: if you're paying 2x for a few extra inches you don't need, you're wasting your money.
