r u f***ing kidding me. its a car buddy **** is gona happen to it regardless. I duno where u guys are from but here in new york noones tapin there cars for road trips. hahaaa

 

I drive to Vegas from LA all the time... I get rock chips from normal everyday driving.

Sorry... but you look like a tool with that crap.

 

^Each and every one of you send me a paypal donation for a new pain job and the tape comes right off.

No??

A 5k paint job with metal frosted flakes for breakfast.

 

well the sad thing is that u might get a whopping 500 bux more when u go to sell ur car, and thats 500 u coulda saved on time and tape

 

^It wont be for sale.

 

I don't see what's with all the bashing. Some people just care about their cars more than others. So what? Does it in any way affect you?
It's very common to tape up the bumper for a long trip. Saves time cleaning up and can help prevent rock chips.
Don't like what we're doing, just press the back button or close this thread. No need to bash the OP.

 

Thank you for that.

It turned out that I had to take a day off work to go on a 3 hour drive one way. Since I already lost money taking a day off the last thing I needed were some rock chips.

 

I understand why people tape up the bumpers and fender wells. But it reminds me of my High school days when, if you wanted attention, you took the hood off your car and raced around the school on Fridays. You get the same effect. Get a clear bra and you never have to tape it up again...

 

You will thank yourself later for not having thousands of paintchips from all those wet leaves.

 

thats what i mean, if his car was so important to him as hes making it seem, getting a clear bra would be the best option. id rather have the rock chips than have my car be 2 different colors looking moronic down the street.

 

The paint under a clear bra cracks anyway so when it comes off the paint does also. Blue tape is softer and probably thicker and it adsorbs the rock hits better than something that is nearly invisible and thin like a clear bra.

You're very funny. Tell it to everyone else using it.

 

dude i don't get it. if taping is what you wanna do then go for it. why are you trying to win over everyone's opinion before you decide you can do so?

 

I have never seen a taped car on the highway. Never. But it would be good for track days or those going to a car show.

 

A few did it on the Raging Bull run, mostly the Vette guys. Show offs....

 

I'll be sure to tell those five other guys.
