My 06 came with it from factory it seems to have saved the front bumper from quite a few scraps however it spent 4 years in Texas and it shows, the color is yellowed and likely due for a replacement.

For OP, I went to my tint guy yesterday and told me about his personal car. He put a vinyl on the paint temporarily months after it was cured but the car that had not been repainted properly (they did not sand down to primer or metal, they just painted over existing paint) once he lifted the vinyl the paint came off with the vinyl.

From what he said is most paint shops don't bake the paint on the car or prep the car properly which leads to not having a strong similar to oem finish.

edit: in response to beta, he is right those who have the kit (which i have) will show more than those who wrap the whole body panel and wrap around the edges. There are also different thicknesses depending on what your installer may have.
