Haha. That'd be interesting to see when you take it off. There would be a square of bugs, tar, dirt, and dust when you took it off.

i WILL be taping up the front of my S. Its easier to peel off tape than it is to wash off nearly 600 miles of dead bugs.

on the dragon itself i'll drive w/o tape. But to and from my S will be sporting the 'bluetape' front end.

e3opian invited me to join for this TOTD trip. I have never been down there, but yes I will be sporting painters tape on the trip down from Johnstown, PA. 591 mi down and back will surely hurt my front end considering the season and all that highway. But, I have a vivid blue pearl RSX-S so blue painters tape won't look that bad, it should blend in I'm also gonna run Wake the Dragon on the back window so if anyone is taking the same route we can run down together.

Thanks for that. I actually bought the clear. So we'll have to see how it holds up.

Wow, great video. I might actually just do that instead. I might stick w/ the clear though, I think that would be less ugly.

You will need 3 cans to cover your front end.

The clear looks worse than the black IMO. You'll see..
