However, everywhere else on the car, vinyl can last longer than your paint job.

Will this be a problem on this new Camaro since it has a hood liner?
Most new cars come with one, and just living with one through the winter; it became very obvious to me that it lets very little heat through to the hood. Substantially less than cars without a liner.
