My most common question has been, "What's with the blue on the front?" Just got home for 4th of July and Scotch 3M saved my bumper.

Nice work Bobo. Looks like the same layout I used. I just went a little higher on the hood as I saw a previous small chip and figured I should put the tape at least that high.
