Is it possible to DIY, yeah. Does it take a specialized skill, to the point where installers think they are Moses parting the sea, fuck no. It feels like all the people saying you cant DIY are either pro installers terrified that the idea that it's possible to DIY getting out, or people who are butthurt because they failed their attempt.
JerseyM3 Do a search a on this sub, a number of people have done full PPFs with good result.
Here is my attempt. No it's not perfect, but it was the first attempt. The fill is 3M's 200 Pro Series and I can fix all of these issues. I have enough material left over to do either 4xdoors, or 1 bonnet, or 2x bumpers, etc. Ps. The Car is dirty in these, and the thread is where one guy did his m4.

If you do try, go in with realistic expectations.
For me it was
- DO NOT SCRATCH THE CAR
- Have some film on it.

Yeah, no. If you are thinking of doing a single piece from the floor into the pillars.
The flatter the surface the easier. In a way, the bonnet is the easiest as you only really need to stretch the film in the direction of the headlights (if you need to). Yes it's a cumbersome piece as it is large, but as far as actual application would be the easiest.
