How difficult is it to install for the DIY'er?
It's very easy with a 50/50 mixture of isopropyl alcohol and water with a drop of dish soap in it.
Soak, soak, and soak some more both sides of the film and the surface you're applying it to with a trigger bottle spritzer. This allows you to place it and move it. When you have it positioned put a finger on a corner and press to secure it. If it's still not right you can lift, soak and try again. Once you've positioned it you can squeegee out the solution from under it.

The more flat the surface the easier it is. Curved surfaces take much training and experience.

Yup...it's very easy...lol
