It's functional, and I'm glad I have it on my (metallic black) dog-hauler, which gets used pretty hard.
But I don't much like how it looks and I'm glad I didn't have it put on the hood. I seem to notice it *right away* on vehicles that have it on their hoods. I know that's a gross generalization but still, it does seem to just jump out at me, especially on vehicles that're older.
As I'm always posting, I go with the quote from the old museum curator: "real cars have stone chips". Chips just don't bother me.

Sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night in cold sweats after having nightmares about fabricating those lower pieces!
I have it on my car and feel that as long as it is *quality* film, installed by a *quality* installer, then I can live with the "film look" on the car. Rock chips that are small and scarce don't bother me, but road rash on the front bumper does, so I live with the line.
It's all about making the choice as to whether you can live with the lines, or the chips--very personal.
FWIW, I tested the 3M film and found that it yellowed and had horrible texture. I much prefer the ventureshield, or LLUMAR--though LLUMAR has had issues lately (my last three rolls).....
