My experience from all my friends and myself - it's not worth it. It doesn't stop all chips by any means, can discolor the paint and it's very expensive with a short life span. After 10 years the money you save from the average two applications you can use for a repaint of the car. Or just fix a few rock chips for Way less money.

Mine's as naked as the day it was born. Occasional spray wax plus detail. Looks great. No stone chips that I know of. Got a few on the rear brake intakes at the track before I installed side skirts though.

NOPE, saved the money. No real benefit upon resell, actually trade in for me.
One of my tenants own http://www.rockymountainautoworks.com/photo-gallery/
I would pay cost of material And I still passed.
Later, I had him wrap the back, material cost was $229 and the skull cost $250 through Vettestripes.com but I am ready for it to come off. Black is way to F'n hot.
