it can hold up pretty well. the first time i taped mine, i drove through a moderate rain storm. it did alright, but i think most of the peelers i had were just from poorly placed seams.
this last time (sig pic) i taped it up, took extra care and did a better job. when i was ready to leave it started raining, so i stayed in my sisters carport, until it passed. drove home a few hours later with no rain, and absolutley nothing peeling (75+mph), and was very happy. the next morning, i woke up to a soaking wet car. i used my drying towel (keep it in the trunk) and got up all the water i could. everytime i stopped i had to patch a few spots, but it really wasnt that bad. was really impressed at how well it stuck, even after being wet.
either way, its worth doing it just for the looks you get on the hwy.

i always wondered with long trips, doesn't the adhesive heat up and get stuck onto the paint when you peel the tape off?
