Clear Bra Life Span/Other Questions

I’ve been looking at all the threads on clear bra’s and I still have some questions.

1. Will my paint look two-toned after a few years. (either fading or its luster).

2. Will the material rip, or get deformed from debris/bugs, thus making it visible.

3. How long do you think it will last.

4. I will be putting it on Black Obsidian coupe. Does black show the lines more than other colors?

5. Are they any other concerns/pitfalls I should know about before plopping down my money.

Thanks in advance.

I'm debating whethere to get one myself or not. Seems that price of bumper install costs as much or more than a new bumper itself, so this seems kinda pointless.

I might just do the hood, lamps and front fenders and see how that goes.

I read on FA today that bird poop can "etch" the film, leave an impression, if the poop isn't removed fairly quickly.

laugh]Honda Idea:
Next thing you know Honda owners will be using birdpoop to etch TypeR or something similar on their bras....

On a White car, the 3M material can appear slightly yellow with UV exposure over time. Less or even not noticeable on other colours. I heard that Avery's product, 'Stone Shield' (?) doesn't yellow.
I have the Ivory Pearl G and I have the 3M on it.
