Made safe and sound. Unfortunately the tape and all began to peel away shortly after my drive began, so I ripped it all off. I didn't want to bother with fluttering tape throughout the drive and figured it's best to not stand out like a sore thumb since I did 90MPH most of the way.
I got away with tons of dead bugs...but miraculously one rock scratch (in DC of all sh!tholes) right by the fake-vent by the passenger-side fang, and it's only a minor clear coat blemish that'll polish out for sure. Otherwise, thanks to copious waxing and a thick clear, no new rock chips.
Took the front NY plate off immediately too. Hahaha
