You'll be fine...I drove to AZ and stayed for three days and came back. No Residue!!! Read the label it'll say something like 10days

Those tend to scratch the paint.

yeah i would also put maybe two layers of painters tape but i wouldnt go nuts and cover the whole bumper. i would just hit a few areas that i know will get hit hard w/ bugs/debris (side mirrors, lip, certain sections of the bumper, front of roof)

3M also makes some type of clear product that can be applied to the front of your car to protect against chips/rocks/scratches, etc. I just got my windows tinted and they had a little display about this stuff. Sorry that I don't remember what it was called. Just searched 3M's site and couldn't find it. But, it is out there.

Wait...just found it.

Interesting, I wouldn't have thought of removing the bumper...

Kinda risky if you ask me

Saveferris23 May 9, 2007 08:48 AM

Just buy an extra bumper...

mifesto May 9, 2007 09:09 AM

remove bumper? wat a smart idea lol. a nice hole in the fmic and radiator will really improve ur 21 hr trip. even at minimum, your fmic fins will be fudged for sure

oh and its illegal.
