Good reading material directly from 3M's product literature:

This product is covered by the 3M Basic Product Warranty, which warrants that if this product has any physical product or manufacturing defects that 3M’s sole liability under the terms of the Warranty is replacement or credit for the returned, unused material. There is no finished or applied graphic warranty nor warranted durability. However, thorough testing and use of this product throughout the world for many years indicates that it is highly durable when used in vertical installations as described in the applicable 3M Product and Instruction Bulletins.
Exposure Definition
Vertical Exposure
The face of the graphic is +- 10° from vertical
Expected Durability for Vertically Applied Film with Sun Symbol
U.S. - 4 years
U.S. Desert Southwest - 3 years
Exceptions and Limitations
- Horizontal indoor wall decoration with no direct UV light exposure is a satisfactory application but no expected durability has been determined.
- Horizontal indoor counters and ledges that are exposed to abrasion results in premature wear or damage. Applying 3M DI-NOC Protection Film DPF 100 provides reasonable resistance to abrasion and soil, but also changes the gloss and may change the appearance of the DI-NOC film over which it is applied.
- Horizontal outdoor decoration is not recommended. Exposure to maximum sunlight and environmental conditions can cause color change, loss of gloss, chalking and premature failure.

So it seems like durability will be a question on the horizontal hood insert.Too bad because those pieces look AMAZING.
