Screw that. I had 3M film applied to the front of the car, mirrors, head lights, fog lights, and behind each wheel the 2nd week I had the car.
It is applied and cut on the car. It can be waxed, washed, can't be seen in photos. However you can see a very small line up close. It can be removed with a heat gun later down the road. Since it is clear the paint won't be a different color if removed.

Save your paint. Those aftermarket leather / vinal bras that just slip over the front bumper ruin the clear coat!
