I don’t have it on my hood but I do on my front bumper and you literally cannot tell. But then the entire thing is wrapped so there is no line or contrast.

Uh... What happened??

Damn!

I yanked the one that came with the Turbo and afterwards I was a bit annoyed I did not not sooner. Mind you that film was 4-5 yo when I took it off and still looked "clear."

The whole car ... that must have been really expensive, how many years ago did you do it ?

My friend has it on his F car and he is nervous that if they need to remove it for any reason that he will lose paint.

It can be a bear to get off (depends on the film) but if it was applied over relatively modern factory paint there is no worry of losing paint.

Applying clear bra over a re-spray is always a risk. I'm guessing his Ferrari is not a re-spray though :lol:

No it’s an original no paintwork car, I think he is the second owner so the car came with it ...

What amazes me every fall is how often SCCA stickers take off clear coat from relatively new cars.

This is a thing? I've never seen it.

Do people not know the "put the sticker on your shirt before applying it to the car" trick?
