Ooh dear... If I was that worried about damage, I'd put a tarp over the car and just leave it in me drive way :shock:

It looks horrendous.

They like them in America for some reason but I've never liked them.

As bad as those scrotes that buy 1.0 litre shopping trollies and paint the bonnet black "ITS CARBON INNIT SO IT IS" but it ends up looking like a scrap yard parts special.

Autostyle? Hmmm... Not my cup of tea.
If it stays on there permanently what's to stop you getting a fade mark in the paintwork?

They just about work on a pickup, but i dont think they are for a car, it would be like putting a winch onto a car.
