im not famiiar with the US trademame, but if its the 3M transparent adhesive sheet, rather like helicopter tape, and instructions say it needs 'gentle heat' to remove it- then beware. i know one guy who did this on the hips - once it got moisture and road debris damage he wanted to replace it- came off nice'n'easy, along with all the paint underneath! this was on a car with a $7k paint job.
