Default carbon fiber questions!!!????

i just recently purchased a cf hood and duckbill i sorta made a mistake on getting it now but i couldnt wait, its going to rain like hell here and snow too so i have a couple of questions or ideas on how to take care of it...

will clear vinyl work its like the clear bumper covers that they are putting on new cars now but im not ready to spend 700 bucks on that **** so what i was thinking was going with a clear vinyl and putting it all over the hood and duckbill would this protect me from rain snow and some rock chips? or is it just going to **** my cf! if you can help with other ways to take care of it please do so.

no smart remarks im pretty shure other people want to know what to do with there cf

thanks

best bet is just to leave it on, but if yuor worried about it , just switch it back to the factory hood and take the duckbill off in the bad weather, put it back on in nice weather, kinda like a bikini

save your stock parts and swap them during the shitty months...just like having winter wheels and good wheels. very simple, dont rick F-in the CF up with some crazy protective process.
