protecting your evo from chips and scratches
I will be making a one time trip next week with the evo around 1,300 of highway driving.
getting the evo shipped is now out of the question.
is there any way to keep the car's wonderful paint and headlights free of chips and scratches besides plentiful application of painters tape?
is that even a good idea for such a long trip?

haha i thought about just caking it all over the front end, and am thinking painters tape on the headlights might make the night driving a bit more difficult...
haha what about saran wrap taped over the headlights? it could work

Maybe try some clear vinyl and tape it in place, with painters tape of course, to your headlights. Just go to walmart and buy a yard for cheap. That'll give you plenty.

Try this stuff:

Better than nothing and won't look as ugly as painter's tape, though I think the tape would give you better protection.
