Those things destroy paint, which is a bit more robust than the plastic panels that these things came with. I'd hate to see a hood that had a bra installed after a few years.
I have a problem with my hood. Apparently something has flown up off the road and dinged the hood to the right of the emblem. Now the clear coat is looking to be delaminating from the surface. SMART has taken a look at it and trying to decide if they will cover under warranty.
When I removed my front emblem there was also a small divot there too. Maybe coincidence, but then again it may be the way they fixture things. No delamination and a touch of clear, 1800 grit and buffing took it out.
