If you lend someone $20 and never see that person again, it was probably worth it.
Checking out the See Thru Braz site I see pretty much everything for HD and for Lehman & Champion trikes, but nothing for Gl1800 front cowling, etc.
It sounds like a good product - wish they offered a broader product line! 😟
3M makes a very good product.

Not that hard to put on and available at almost any auto parts store.
3M Paint Defender Spray works great.. Got mine at Auto Zone
I just put See Through Braz on my Roadsmith, Al is a great guy to do business with. They are pretty easy to install, and they are almost invisible, and depending on which trike you have they are pre cut to fit, and they are adding more models all the time.
I bought film this when my (rebuild) RS trike kit was new 53 weeks ago, and never got around to doing it. Well, now I'll have another opportunity - as the BMW (GS1200) driver who hit me Sunday morning, admitted guilt this morning, and GEICO will have to repaint ALL the fiberglass except running boards. (I don't see how they can touch up a semi-metallic red with a clear coat and be neat. I'll find out Monday morning when the adjuster comes out. Anyway, if it is re-painted, I'm going to put that 8 mil clear plastic on right away. I can't believe the number of chips I have on the fronts of my rear fenders.
If you look carefully on ebay, you can find just about any size you want - basically you can buy exactly what you need.

If you want to do something, do it now!
I'm using the product from see thru bras on my old tour- glide champion.
The stuff is great, Al and co. are real easy to do business with.
I have been running it since last spring.
The product comes pre-cut to fit and is removable.
Give them a call and forget 3M spray?
My experience with it has been ALL bad Regardless of others folks success with the stuff. (and yes I followed instructions to the tee!)
I Tried applying it twice, The spray cans had the wrong spray nipple the first time and came out in big gobs and splutters, running down the side of the can and falling on the paint and the second time I just did not like the look and I hated it and had to take it off with ammonia both times, I hated the removal process as bad as the application process.
Besides, See thru bras product is thicker than the film sprayed on with 3M, and Al makes things right with us around here if there's a problem.
You don't have to be bothered by trying to find a way to contact 3M co. complaints dept. and wait for them to get around to replacing the stuff.
Not that they won't, its just a hassle.
I would like to see Al and company spread out into a leather fender guard as well. Maybe sometime down the road huh?

the difference between a good trike and a bad one depends entirely on the integrity of it's builder!
I have only had my 08 Lehman for a couple weeks now but found the receipt for a complete coverage with see thru braz which was installed in 09.I can tell you that the paint under the film appears much brighter and for the most part undamaged, particularly
on the front fender areas than the unprotected areas.
The previous owner paid 600 bucks for the added protection and from what I can tell five years later ....it was worth every penny.
