This brings up another question I have. I have my 3 fully wrapped on the front, but since the car was brand new (and I was pushing my budget already) they didn’t do any paint correction on the front.
Did you have any paint correction before PPF was applied?
If not, do you notice any difference with light cutting and/or polish on the rest of the car? I don’t plan to go real heavy, just enough to remove swirls and then a finish polish, but I don’t want the front to look different from the rest of the car
I figure in motion and possibly to the untrained eye they wouldn’t notice, but it would drive me insane.

I did a paint correction BEFORE PPF. You can't do it after...at least not to the factory clear. The light scratches you showed should be easily removed (probably not with a finish polish though) as long as that portion isn't trapped under PPF. I wasn't quite sure based on your comment/question.
Regarding the handles -- yeah, of course you can polish them as well. However, since the handles are metal you may need to use a stronger compound and you also may need to make sure to polish the whole handle evenly as unevenness in the polishing will show. I, like many, simply had my handles wrapped as part of chrome delete so didn't bother polishing them. However, there were some swirls and what not around the handle simply because hands and what not rub against the paint there if you aren't careful.
