Nothing wrong with the film in moderation yet all over the entire fender is a bit much... Xpel film works really well and if done properly from 5-10' away, you look right past it. 3M film is even clearer IMO after having used both. The trick is to put in the extra effort and wrap the leading edge of the hood to protect if from chips there as well.
Another good option:

Say what you want but getting 24+ year old cosmoline and shipping protector off must have been a chore. Taping off plastic lenses is done to avoid risk of damage from dry burn through of the polishing pad, which is a smart thing to do if you're not removing the lens.
Awesome car...
