zach they dont make a "precut" kit for that, but i can get it in different widths, by the foot, i think your choices are

2,4,6,12,18, and 24 inch widths, most of the thinner ones are 8 mil, you can get 12 inch and up in 12 mil

The stuff That i'm talking about, actually sticks to the paint. It doesn't go on like a normal bra does.

The clearshield stuff is really hard to see. You have to be really close to it and run your finger on the edge to notice it.

X-pel is simply a distributor of the 3M product, but they have all their own patterns and machines to cut the film to fit

Can't for the life of me remember who I ordered from, but I have a set of 3M coatings for my headlamps and fogs. I actually ordered them YEARS ago when the truck was new.. and we were all hanging out at GE. I installed the protectors on the glass fogs immediately as that was really all I was after. Last weekend I FINALLY dug out the protectors for the headlights and corners and applied them. Decent stuff..

this stuff is great. when my mom's Jetta was brand new, I got the front bumper wrapped, and also a strip up the hood. since then, someone's backed into the car, hit the bumper, and it just dented, no paint damage at all. highly reccomend it.
