Nice chatting with you on the phone today.
I think for what you paid, you actually got MORE value than you think. $1000 is extremely low and far below market rate. Typical full front with a quality material should be north of $1700-1800 and wanting something free of flaws such as dirt particle, landmarks lined up, and rolled edges, etc. will come close to, and above, $2k for a full front.
The fair thing to do is give the installer an opportunity to fix things. Be specific on what bothers you and let him know you're both in it together and what can be done to make both of you happy.
Good luck and let us know how it turns out

It's not to say it's impossible, since none of know what the installer did. Just based on my professional observation of the photos posted, it's a low probability of razor marks in the paint.
To OP, how did everything turn out? Were you and installer able to come to a happy resolution?

I respectfully disagree. From the photos, based on mis-aligned land marks, it's obvious installer went pre-cut, requiring little to no need for a blade to be used. I don't see any "Manual" cuts, which would increase the probability of deep razor marks by an unskilled hand.

I have an appointment with the installer in a few weeks. Will update everyone as soon as I can. He did razor around the headlight cleaners in picture 2, as well as around the headlight in picture 3. My concern is that the misalignments will lead to the film lifting as in some of the pictures you can see that the film is not sitting on the car (picture 1)
