I'll get pictures in a bit, but mine goes to about 2" up past the headlights and out to the edge of the fender flares, and the hood portion is about 12" up from the forward lip of the hood. Because there are multiple compound curves going on all over the place, you should expect narrow, cut out gaps in a couple of places on the lower fenders to allow for the curvature of the body. The film would naturally pucker at those spots and the installer had a special knife/tool that he could adjust the depth of cut and then just deftly cut out the pucker to allow the remaining film to lie flat.
I had mine applied in 2006? or so. I drove Pearl over to the local (RI, at the time) Mercedes place and asked the Service Manager who they used for films on the front of new Mercedes and then used that guy, who came to the house to apply it after I removed all of the stuff on the front of the car. 16 years ago, it cost about $600.
He used BASF 8mil film which, after 16 years, is beginning to yellow from the UV rays but on my white car it is only noticeable when the light hits it just so.
