I've had my kevlar cover on and off since February, the only issue I've had is minor chips from something. No warping or discoloration.

discolorization (yellowing) is from oxidation from the sun's UV rays so i don't think the mani cover get enough sunlight to change color. Warping? Carbon fiber doesn't warp unless there is a force being applied on it during changes in temperature. Since it's a floating piece over the engine, it probably won't warp either.
