no, i have had the chrome sticker on my car for the longest time and i used to have vinyl eyelids on my last car and i had no problems. Just make seure that you get good vinyl for automotive or outside purposes so that the heat from the summer sun doesnt bubble it up. Also even if it gets bubbled up it doesnt leave heavy residue, it usually comes right off. Hope this helps.

I have custom eyebrows (dont know if you want these) and I just went to the local car graphics store and bought a few feet of vynil sticker. It works really good but since the way my car was parked at my house the sun hit the right side everyday and it started to get brown and looked bad. I peeled most of it off but just redid it. It's pretty easy to do. I have a CL btw.



Its ontop of the headlight.
