Some friend.

I'd have smacked him before he got NEAR to touching my car!

That tape is there to protect the #4 cylinder from scoring. Your engine is ruined.

bustin pee pee,

These guys are just messing with you.

The black tape around the windsheild has been talked about NUMEROUS amounts of times. Consider yourself lucky that the dealer helped you out on this one. Some people have had to get there windshield frames repainted after taking off the tape. And for some, getting the dealer to repaint it under warranty wasn't an easy task.

Red doesn't come with tape. That's why they're faster.
