on the darker cars i havent noticed much change since its been on... but on the pearl white it starting to look a bit yellow up close but from far its alright... so far about a year and going... it might also be because the white brings out the natural color of the 3m tape
hope that so how helps?

My e60 is alpine white and you can just barely see a slight yellowing and I've had it on for about 9 months. I'm kinda anal when it comes to this stuff though. I pointed it out to a friend of mine and he thought I was seeing things. If I recall correctly, there's a warranty against yellowing....or maybe it was just my installer offering that warranty. I had the back of the mirrors done as well..

I used these Guys and was very impressed with the service and the product. They give a 4 year warranty on it too so if it yellows, take it back and have it replaced. No marks on the film at all on the bonnet. It's pretty strong stuff.
My car is black so yellowing isn't an issue for me. The only thing that bugs me is the build up of wax around the edges of the film. Not a big deal, just a little more elbow grease required when cleaning the car.
I say go for it.
