We just purchase a WHITE sports Fit that we pre-ordered, it looks awesome!! I am now in kind of in the dilemma - should I get a clear mask or not. I am mostly concerned with the "yellowing" effect over long term, and it would show on a white car a lot WORSE than other colors.

I have researched quite a bit, and it seems like even though the material (3M, VentureShield, ClearShield) has improved a long way, there is no way to garrantee that it does not turn yellow. Some say that it is the sunlight that causes the problem. I am in Denver, CO and the car will be under the intense sunlight while parked at my work most of the time. So maybe my fit will be at even a higher risk of developing yellowing problem. On the other hand, I hate to see the front end getting chipped badly as well.

Does anyone had the clear mask for a while and would like to comment on it?

Thanks so much in advance!

 

Since you have a white color and the color of the base is also white, you won't notice any chips. If I were you I would not worry about it. Spend your cash on other Fit accessorie!

 

That is a good thought, thank you Crystal!

 

Unless it gets chipped to the bare metal. I've had it happen in a few places on my 06 civic.
