Yeah that stuff is so thin and on there so good, its like you would never know its there. But it does have a protective film that needs peeled off. In most cases, that's what's discoloring. People don't even know its there. Had that discussion with my brother when he helped with mine. He thought I was nuts saying it needed peeled off. He didnt think it had any until I got an edge started, and started pulling it off, lol.

I think I at least got it started, and then peeled it after the strip was installed. Cant really remember, that was about 8 years ago.
