Unhappy Carbon Fibre Wrap Exhaust Tips & PlastiDip Logo Update

Four months on and today I noticed my 3M carbon fibre wrapped exhaust tips are beginning to crack and peel in the corners. I am thinking exhaust heat finally drying the glue backing out causing them to dry up like old leaves. Anyone else experience same or better?

Also after Plasti Dipping my logos I have had no luck with the rear tailgate F Sport logo in removing the fine SPORT centre fill cleanly to reveal the white background on my white GS. Everywhere else went perfect. Has anyone had better luck? Not keen on leaving a silver logo with all other blacked out on the back end. Would love a gunmetal F Sport logo but can't find any on EBay as of yet.

Yes, my carbon fiber wraps on exhaust tips started peeling from the edges as well. They can not withstand the heat.
