Tankslapper full install?

Seen many threads with the tank protector which I've already installed.  Haven't seen much on the full install and no pictures when I searched.

Anyone do a full install?   For those who haven't, many dings/scratches on the front on the bike?  I'm debating whether to install both based on looks, effort and need.

Suggestions?

I did the full kit.  It takes some patience, a spray bottle of water/isopropyl-alochol and a selection of squeegees.  Compound curves can be difficult - in a couple of instances around the headlight I made some relief cuts to accommodate the shape.  No matter how careful I was, I still ended up with a few bubbles under the material here and there, but they're not visible from a few feet away.  The material on the tank stuck to my leathers and pulled up so I ditched that for another tank bra option but in my research there were many users that swear by the clear tank bra.
