You've probably already asked that question but I was curious.

If you do have trouble with peeling, consider tinting it instead. You can buy the walmart tint or the good 3M stuff online and install it yourself to save some money.
By chance, yesterday was the first rains of the season. The plasti-dip held perfectly (for now). On the tint thing... I basically followed the line of a cheap and now badly faded California-legal tint job from 2006. I brought it further down only about a quarter inch. So the line is legal (close). I don't know if the solid color is legal, but you are allowed to have limo-dark tint on that area of the glass, so I think it won't be any problem. To escape a "fix-it" ticket I could use a razor and peel the stuff right in front of an officer if necessary.

I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
