Hood Bug/Wind Deflector

Hood Bug/Wind Deflector
I just picked up a front wind deflector for my 2001 AE and was going over the instructions when I noticed the part about the little rubber bumpers you are suppose to stick to your hood. My question is, how permanent are these things? Am I going to be able to peel them off down the road? Do they leave any marks? Do I need them?
Any recommendation on how to apply them would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Return it and apply the $ to something that actually improves the appearance of your car.

Are you talking about the Carflector? I've had mine for 7 months now (no garage). The bumpstops are still there. Haven't tried taking them off however but given that it's not directly under the sunlight (behind the carflector) then it probably won't be affected by fading

I just bought one my self.I haven"t put it on yet.I want to see if i can get it painted to match the color of my max.As for the rubber bumpers i plan on sticking them on the inside part of the deflector and not the hood.

You can do that. I just preferred putting the stops on the hood itself.
I figured, if a big rock or something hits the deflector enough to bend it i'd rather have the deflector get most of the impact from the stops rather than the stops impacting the hood. (e.g. I'd rather have the stops on the hood poke the deflector rather than the stops on the deflector poke the hood).
