Not sure as I think the colour of the car isn't helping it blend in  :huh:

I'd like to see one fitted on a darker car.

Not for me either

Also :

Long term use may result in some discoloration between the protected area and unprotected, especially on red paint.

Putting it on and taking it off could leave marks

If there is an edge to it, then dirt and grit can get trapped there, leading to marks on the paint along the edge  

The only thing it can really protect you from is stone chips, as a properly washed / waxed car will be protection against dirt / insects etc.

As a car Bras go its not bad. I like the CF finish to it.

However, not a big car bra fan, what happens to all the dust & grim that gets down the back and scratches the paint finish?
