Any have any ideas about building up and installing a temporary bra for the front of my 8?

I'm planning on driving 1600 miles (round trip) to Toronto Canada from New York and would like to protect my paint from stone chips. I've done this drive before and have had little stones tossed up by SUVs and trucks chip my paint on the front bumper and hood. Needless to say, I get sick when I hear the 'plink' of a stone against my metal.

So I heard about these guys with an Audi that covered it with 3M Safe Release Blue Tape and drove it cross country. http://www.didntyouhear.com/2006/11/19/1253/

I wonder if this would work? Any thoughts?

 

It works for small rocks and bugs. I use it sometimes too.

 

You can put Painter's tape all over the front bumper like the track and autocross guys do.

 

lol, i had blue tape on my car on friday when i took it to get a clear bra installed.

 

i'll clear bra you

 

wtfreak haha

Nice, I had a clear bra on my 8 for about 2 years. I worked great and didn't leave any discoloration when I removed it. Who installed the product?

 

yea tim, I figured it was that time again. Haha. when did u remove ur clear bra? Didnt know...
I got it done by starshield in irwindale. They did a really nice job on it. Much better than the job aerotect did for me back a while ago. Then again it was pretty pricey in comparison. Lol

 

I thought I read that someone on the board made temporary covers intended for track days. The costs was minimal and looks way better than blue tape.

 

hey now.. blue tape looks pimp.

 

3" wide blue painters tape two coats works like a charm

 

Never tried it, but here's a thought: http://www.autobarn.net/duplicolor-spray-on-bra.html

 

Huhwha - I know about the spray on bra stuff but it doesn't protect against stone chips which is what I'm really concerned about.

I think I'll take Dominion's suggestion and go with two coats of 3'' wide.

 

painters tape works like a charm, this winter im going to do my whole car in it actually.

 

up ive seen tape on a ms3 on a road trip... it caught a lot of bugs and probably protected from a bunch of rocks.
