Yep, he's coming! We're both headed out tomorrow :tup:

Look forward to seeing you both again.

Holy tape job. After doing mine for a trip once it isn't worth the time lol pain in the ***

Likewise! :tiphat:

I agree, it's a complete pain in the ***. But so are rock chips and bug guts.

Dr. Colorchip to the rescue!

I have to say that the accent color of the tape on the headlights was a nice touch! I'll give you some credit for remembering to do the hood separately so you could check the oil! I've seen people at the track who have forgotten and cut it open only to have it get very loose and start to peel on them.

Have a safe drive!

Yea but I'm going there to drive not show so I could care less about big guts and I haven't got a Rock chip in the last 10k miles and I drive like a **** lol

Doesn't help when you fail to tape up the most important parts :stirthepot:

[sarcasm]You're gonna get rocks and bugs all up in your radiator leaving it open like that.[/sarcasm]

That's why it's "Clear Bra Baby!!!".

The only damage suffered going to ZdayZ last year was an idiot in WV driving a dump truck full of gravel/rocks. I was weaving like a person being shot at, but before I could gat past him, a rock hit the windshield. Luckily, the angle of the window deflected most of the impact, so it ended up being just a little scratch. To prevent this from happening this year, I may use painters tape on the windshield. Since I haven't done it before, does anyone have any tips???? Oh wait a minute, I don't know what I was thinking. What happens if I need to use the windshield wipers? Maybe I better rethink this :inoutroflpuke:!

Hope everyone has a safe trip to Fontana. We're leaving tomorrow after work so we won't be rolling into Fontana until Wednesday AM.

Greetings from Fontana. :). Got in yesterday around 6:30.

Greetings :tiphat: ...it looks like the interweb is working.

mazoc crew make it there in one piece??

:facepalm: and if you tape it up your car will probably overheat! LOL

:iagree::iagree::iagree:

Yeppers

What I do is leave the tape on the windshield until it rains. Everyone knows that rain knocks all the bugs and rocks out of the air! So using your wipers should'nt be an issue if you take my advice. :inoutroflpuke:

I didn't think I needed to clarify humour and sarcasm to this lot. :rolleyes:

well i think i learned that the tape isnt speed rated lol i feel i did a good job (minus the one small section i did backwards) and it still peeled up

:icon17:

Ok who said they needed some bugs taken care of?

badass... i love it dude.

See, this is one of the many reasons that I love this forum. There is ALWAYS someone who knows the answer to a given question . I will take your advice and thanks for the insight . Honestly, I never even knew about the rain knocking down the bugs and rocks from the air...geez, now I feel so stupid :crying: :mad:.

Looks Awsome! I will be taping up my front end as well just did a full paint correction!

No ZgheyZ shenanigans yet?

thats because i'm not there yet :stirthepot:

It needs to be Wednesday...

:iagree:

I wonder how plastidip would work for a temporary bra since it peels right off?

3M jsut came out with that spray on clear bra that i think basically clear plasti dip

Uhmm.. will like to try that. :tup:

I hope the paint has cured enough before you affix the tape; just sayin'.

i got 3 massive rolls of 2" or maybe 3" #m blue painters tape and probably not even gonna use it haha taped up once and it doesnt seem worth it.

if i could get that 3M paint defender spray stuff tonight i'd maybe try it out

Try some plasti dip and see if it works.

this stuff seems pretty legit from what i've read. amazon would take 2 weeks to get it i may call autozone on my way home.

Autozone should have it.

yea them and amazon are the 2 places you can get it. in stock is a different question lol i just remembered there is one like a 1/2 mile from my work on my way home. i just wish i could find some more reviews. only one i found was on a BMW forum. only negative in the guys write up was dry/set time is like 2-4 hours. so he did it late and let it sit overnight.

if anyone can find me some other positive reviews then i'll probably go on and be the test dummy for the Z community lol

Worst case just do your fangs black plasti and see how it holds up for the ride.

haha not my style. i just really dont see myself having the time to tape up the front end. the 3M paint defender spray could be a solution.
