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.

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." |

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