Bumper protection for long trips

[Kansei]

an hour drive is a long trip?

hehe I guess some people are REALLY protective of their cars. If my bumper was freshly painted I'd probably do it too

I'll have to take a closeup pic of my front bumper for you guys. It looks like it's been sandblasted.

Some guys covered an Audi S4 using only like 4 rolls or somethin.. must have been pretty big rolls though. Thtey then drove the car cross-country to deliver it for another forum member.

read about it on vwvortex, got linked to it from autoblog. they did a nice long travel log writeup on the trip.

so your saying it takes more than 4 rolls?

I've got the Rockblocker partial kit which consists of hood protection, a small part of each fender near the hood, and the side mirrors, I also have the Rockblocker headlight and foglight protection. Finally, I have the complete front bumper and lip kit from Xpel. I'll bet you can't even see it is there.

Best money I ever spent. I forget how much I spent on the rockblocker stuff, but I installed that stuff myself but the front bumper/lip was complicated and you needed a factory trained tech to install it. I think I paid $360 for the materials and installation from Xpel.

Xpel also sells the partial kit (hood, fenders and mirrors) and the headlight/foglight kit but Rockblocker had a sale at the time so they were cheaper.

Hope that helps.

Is this the tape you guys used?

 

[Kansei]

yeah that'll work. I have bright green "automotive masking tape" that I think I might give a try mmm lime green

 

[Laser03pro]

Cool I have some of that green tape too. I plan to go on some long trips this summer for car shows and dont want to get any chips or bugs implanted in the paint.
