No whistling. It does bend while driving, it's pretty flexible. But after you are parked for 2 minutes it regains its straight look. (I have no idea how to not make this post sound like something two 8th grade boys would discuss)

3M film. I have had it on my last 3 vehicles with the 1/3 hood, mirrors, front end, pillars and rear fender (on SUVs). Works great, especially in our mountain environment

I have bumper to bumper expel ultimate on my Gtr and love it. My paint still looks like it rolled of the showroom floor 2 years later. Didn't think about paint protection film for such a high sitting vehicle like our incoming f150 though.

I did the entire front end, complete hood, front face of the truck (minus grill and chrome center on bumper), headlights, A pillars, roof leading edge, front fenders, headlights, and....now I wish I would have paid double and had the entire truck covered. Washing the front of the truck, the dirt, mud, and bug guts just about fall off with some high pressure water, but the rest of the truck requires more effort to keep clean.
If you like your vehicle to look new, all the time, get the entire truck covered IMO. I'm going to have my truck finished once summer arrives.
FYI, my entire front end has a 7 year warranty for everything. Cost was $1750 including high end tint job on all 7 pieces of glass, professionally cut and installed. Product was Scotch Guard (3M) film.
Following 2 dump trucks hauling rocks over an overpass the day after install, and watching rocks fly all over 3 lanes of traffic, bouncing off the hood and front of the truck, only to find no damage afterwords....priceless

ResistAll, a high commission product, is a paint sealant, not a protective film. Usually the vehicle has to be returned periodically for a 'maintenance application' of the sealant to maintain your warranty. Also, check the fine print carefully. There are online reports of warranty disputes over whether a paint issue is warranted or excluded.

Anyone hear of Premium Shield?? Just got a quote from a guy that says he likes it better than 3M.
