What about dealer installed quarter panels and rear wheel arches, those are never wrap around?
Those should be wrapped around the edges as well. My car has a full front PPF. The fenders are completed wrapped. For example where it meets the door, it's wrapped around and under the edge where it meets the door. The arches are the same. They don't start with pre cut pieces. They put a big sheet on and smooth, heat, and tuck. There only a few pieces where it's surface only, like the cerium gray fender vents. If you were to open my hood you would see the xpel coming around the edge of the front bumper and wrapping under. Same for the hood.

Now seeing that you lease and you seem to have no interest in buying it, there is no f'ing way I put a dime into XPEL. One of the pluses of leasing for me in the past is I don't feel attached to the car so I don't get as OCD and out of control on just about everything because I don't feel attached. Read - time and money suck avoided.
