I wanted to do this as well but my installer said he wouldn't even attempt it because of all the curves. This was before it was even installed. He suggested I send the piece to xpel so the could properly template the thing and create a pattern that would wrap the whole thing. Let us know what your guy thinks.

Just use a black permanent/magic marker with a tip on it. Have done that for years on my ZR and it works great, and holds up well. Plus, very easy and quick to do.

The shop was able to install Xpel on the front splitter but we only installed the film on the front lip and not the top surface. Figured this is where you would get most of the paint chips and as glen_e mentioned you can probably do this yourself.
Also will use the black marker OnPoint mentioned for touchup when needed.
