This is another reason I'm not putting one on the G.

Does the clear bra cause uneven color wear? so over time would the part covered be a differnt tone than the rest of the car?

I have had mine for over a year and it still looks the same as it did the day I had it installed (so does my bumper).

I had a 3M clear bra removed from my car last summer which was on for nearly two years. It had not yellowed at all during that time. However there was a slight paint colour differerence between the uncovered and covered area on my hood and fenders. It seemed the UV inhibitors of the clear bra prevented paint fade. However, my car had only two treatments of a permawax dealer paint protection during that time so the paint was not well protected.
I have since compounded the car, regularly apply sealant/wax and reinstalled a new clear bra. The compounding restored a perfect blend where the areas met.
