as i mentioned previously, the truck has been used offroad and thus, has some "pine striping". They vinyl has been on for approximately 3 years so i would assume there would be some variation in light scratches from use. In several spots the vinyl has torn but can easily be replaced as i have a whole roll of vinyl included. I suspect is someone wanted to remove the stripes you could and with a weekend and an orbital buffer you could shine it up pretty good.
