After a few years, will the paint color of the covered parts and uncovered parts become different?

Sadly there are not enough gals around with clear bras (and hopefully no shirts)......If I had a clear bra I can't imagine I would have a good experience.

Thats what I'm wondering as well. Although on silver I don't think it could end up as bad as a black truck would.

I'm going to buy it anyway.

I guess it depends on how much the clear vinyl is protected from UV rays. If it's not, then it will dry out and most likely turn yellow or cloudy. If you maintain it like you do the rest of your paint it will probably last longer and look better. I'm sure that it won't be as bad as the black vinyl bras in any event. I used those for 22 years.

My 02 Maxima had one from the dealer. I liked it, but I wondered about the long term and if the color would hold up. I only had the car for about 3 years, so it still looked ok.
