3M 1080 Matte Black Wrap for 2004 G35

Wasup guys,

I've been debating on whether or not wrapping my 2004 4 door g35 with 3M 1080 Matte Black. Supposively to my understanding the 3M 1080 wraps already have high-grade UV protection. However, I am worried about the durability when I go back and forth from school (University of Tampa) to NY. I feel like due to Tampa's extreme heat (sometimes) and my car being wrapped in matte black it will absorb a lot of heat. I know the interior is going to be a furnace when first entering the vehicle so lets get that out of the debate. But, will the heat of the sun ruin the wrap job on the car or will the wrap be durable enough to withstand the heat? I know you need very hot temperatures to apply and take off the wrap, but will the sun's heat damage the wrap in some spots? Is it even worth going matte black or should I pick a different color such as matte white so it does not absorb as much heat? Give me some of your guys inputs I enjoy criticism.

Honestly there are plenty of cars down here in Miami (heat is much worse) that are wrapped in black and when it comes down to it, its all on the quality of the installation. Area's more prone to bubbles and what not should be applied with a special glue... it wont harm the paint...
