PROS:
-Can always go back to white by removing the vinyl (it won't remove clear coat)
-Protection of OEM paint
-Less prone to scratch/swirls vs. paint
-Easier to take care of/clean (detail spray & microfiber towel)
-Takes less time to install (1~2 hour)
CONS:
-Won't be as glossy as paint
-depends on the installer, finish might not be as clean as paint.
-dust is more noticeable (?)

-Won't be as glossy as paint
- will give out a matte like look at night
-depends on the installer, finish might not be as clean as paint.
-dust is more noticeable
- Scratches easier as its really only a sticker
- *May* damge your clearcoat and yellow
- Edges will look look crappy
- Prone to lifiting
