clears will fade out depending on if you park under the sun all day, if you wax it, care for it properly, etc...same as with a CF hood. it will probably deform a bit from heat in the sun, probably nothing too noticeable. i know a few guys who've had one before. they ended up taking it off cuz mounting it without drilling was retarded.

Naw its the "P-1/RS-1/JDM/POS" lip kit. The fitment was horrible. ,The clear started to pull, and it did not hold up well to rock chips (resin really thin). If you are thinking about it you will have to do some fitting work, re-clear it when you are done, then get a clear bra put on it...wouldn't reccomend.

I've never seen any good come from putting CF that close to the road surface on a street car. All it takes is one unexpected dip or nasty railroad crossing.

you would have to do some trimming, then heat it up so its flexible and manipulate it to fit better, worst gaps were sides (in between the "side vent" grills and the inner fender). Good luck! The local guy that has it is Gio07tc

Had one just like that. It got clearcoat cancer after about 2 years, and I wax my car somewhat religiously. The clearcoat was actually flaking off. Fitment and appearance were fine-- it just didn't last.

" It got clearcoat cancer after about 2 years,"

uhm... what do you mean by that? i dont really get it.

it looks good. so even if i would wax it every month it would fake?

i wonder if anyone wrapped it with clear overlam vinyl...
i would do that if i will get one.

Ever seen the hood/roof of a late-'80s through mid-'90s Honda? Where the clearcoat starts to flake off? That's exactly what my spoiler did. And it had Klasse and P21S on it.
