Should I unroll it too? Is there a backing, or should I be concerned about where I lay it?

YES, put it in sun light (even inside) to help it get warm and unroll...
Don't force it to unroll!
NO, there's NO BACKING on it...so be careful!
YES, be concerned where you lay it! Beach towel!

Y'all are making it sound SOOOOO difficult!!!
I unrolled mine onto my hood close to the desired location & left it that way for about 15 minutes. Then repositioned it to the desired location. I chose to bias it towards the leading edge like Sue did & that left a little bit hanging over the edge of the hood in a few places (sorry - can't remember where since that was 2 1/2 years ago). I then used scissors to trim off the excess & then put the trim piece on.
Sorry but I can't vouch for the effects on my paint. The one time I took it off 2 years ago, there was some discoloration of the paint. I have no idea if the discoloration will come off with rubbing compound or not. I just put the bra back on and decided that it is now a permanent mod. I'm probably going to have to replace mine next year since the trim piece keeps working loose over the PS headlight (or maybe I'll just try the crimping method that y'all mentioned). I schlep some Back2Black on it any time that I'm treating the cladding and it still looks new.
