Is that brand specific? I have seen lots that aren't yellow.

Go back to the installer and have it redone unless there wasn't a discoloration gaurantee.

I don't know what brand you have applied to your car but I have 3M on mine and mine looks like it was applied yesterday with simple proper maintance, no discoloring whatsoever. I think there is a lifetime warranty on these if they discolor so look into that, I'm sure you could get a new put on for free or very little cost.

That looks ugly. Makes me not want to do it, but it is probably no doubt a product variance.

are you sure its 3m and not ventureshield?

ventureshiedl = no clearcoat
3m = clearcoat

If it is 3m, then it might be the older 3m film which had a yellowing problem.
