Not that I've seen or heard of, either now on the 370 or years back from the 350.

The only issue I've seen is paint fade/bubbling from the excessive heat produced by the bi-xenon headlights. In that case, it was because the people were using water-based paint which was not meant to be used in higher-temp situations.

Mine still looks perfect cause i rarely park my car under the sun, no bubbling from heat neither. I dont think it will be a problem if you ise the right paint and seal them properly
