Road trip TAPE job....

I posted this elsewhere also, i know, i know. Just need opinions





So I was talking to my buddy about driving the Camaro from WI to NJ when I pick it up from "You know who" in a few months. I told him that I can't wait to drive her home but I'm going to HATE all the bugs and rock chips I'll acquire during the trip. :( He suggested that I use "blue painters tape" to cover the front end just for the 2 day drive. Apparently it works really good and leaves no glue residue, but looks pretty stupid.

Honestly, I dont care if the SS looks silly for 48 hours if it saves me a ton of heart ache.

What do you guys think?

If it's gonna bother you that much, tape her up, after you get home, get a clear bra.

i used a bra for a 5000 mile road trip from NY to Wy and back on my 97 T/A and it worked perfect--well worth the money and you can throw it on when needed-jmo

Try Road Wrap.

It's awesome for road trips. and easier to apply and remove than tape..

Thanks GTAHVIT.

I'll check out Road Wrap If it's cheap, I'll just go with that instead.

Oh btw I saw your "heritage grill video". I might just have it installed... Lol
