im liking the black out on the bumper. i was contemplating doing it myself, but i had one concern...

for those of you using vinyl; aren't you concerned with possibly wanting to take it off later down the road and having to deal with a difference in color? meaning that the paint under the vinyl won't fade slightly like the rest of the car. i'd be afraid that if i did take it off later that there would be a big noticeable difference in the paint where the vinyl was and wasn't.

any comments???
