Absolutely beautiful! Nice debadge, and nice clear film install! How long does the film generally last and what's the evidence that it needs to be removed/replaced?

Wow, that long?? Incredible. Do rocks cause holes in it in the unfortunate even that you get hit by one?

anything is possible but I haven't seen rocks cut thru clear film.



a sharp object or a bump from another car can tear it
