That just looks like Saran wrap with an adhesive backing. 30 bucks for a roll? ouch. I'll stick with painters tape.

Duct tape is cheap, protective and won't fall off...

Use painters tape like someone said. Its the blue tape. One roll will cover whole front end of your car.

Did it before when i went to F.L. 300mile drive. Works great. Won't peel off by wind, but will peel off with no residue left behind.

Only down fall, it takes little time to put it on, but hey its worth it.

some guys do a layer of blue tape and then add a layer of duct tape on top for added protection.

I have never heard of putting painters tape on the front end, good idea. I have always just wanted to purchase a front end bra for this exact reason...

^I wasn't being serious. vBut, turns out I was partially correct anyways.

The price and time of doing painters tape then a layer of duct tape makes this road wrap worth the $30 IMO. You can apply it in minutes and it's thicker than a single layer of the painters tape.
