Get extra clear coats on it before you instal it the first time.

I would think that avoiding parking in direct sunlight would help also. :dunno: I don't know because I don't have one.

It's clear coated, so it's just like paint. You can wax and polish and taking care of it along with your paint will make a big difference.

Try painting it to match your car. It will give the CF a nice layer of protection.
