They do cut it out from large sheets in rolls without using a template. Of my Jeep I had the 1/3 of the hood and all front bumper covered. I watched the whole process. Was pretty neat and fast.

I agree with the previous posters that you need to cover the front bumper, the hood ( I'd prefer fully ,because in time paint under covered area stays almost new but the exposed part gets worn out in tone) and definitely the mirrors.

One other thing I would pay attention to is the brand of the transparent film they will use. There are various brands out. I have 3M film on the Jeep. Nice protection and did not yellow or pale in almost 6 years.
