I've been thinking/asking the same question. I've done rear bumper protectors before and felt that was pretty easy, but sounds like full PPF is pretty labor intensive to get it right. I might do the same and start by getting just the front section before committing to buying PPF for the whole car.
I've not seen any threads on Drive Protected specifically, but did find this one where someone did DIY PPF:
Mine was just partial hood, partial fender, and bumper. And applied to wheel areas, door sills, and rear bumper using a sheet. 3M was much cheaper than xpel.
