I have had mine since May of last year, it has been a blast! Mine is black with stripe delete, so I could not tell you about that. I have no 3M or other protectant on it. I did put different wheels and tires on mine, the Michelins do not pick up nearly as much of the road debris. Absolutely no issues so far with mine at all. Couple of other mods are: Bob's autosport LED fog lights, BMR LCA's and adjustable panhard bar, Bob's oil separator (needed!), FRPP axle-back mufflers, RedLine hood struts and a few interior bits.....
