Painted My Platinum Graphite Bumper BLUE - Thoughts?
 
Just kidding. I'm going on a little 400+ mile trip tomorrow and I don't have a clear bra so I made a blue bra (?) out of painter's tape. It looks lame but I just got laid off so the clear bra got knocked down on the priority list. Took me 15-30 minutes and cost 5 bucks. Just trying to dodge bugs/rocks since it'll be highway.

Do you guys think I should do a bit of the fenders as well?

looks perfect! Its not like youre at a show. For all anyone knows, its the factory protection on a car being delivered?

haha, thanks. it does kinda look that way - if only it was white! i see you're in tampa. im actually driving up to o-town for hhn. it's almost party time...

I bought the leather bra for that same reason.

Long trip cross country. Eventually I'll get the clear bra but saving cash for some other mods.

Hahaha, nice job on the taping. Hope you taped from the middle of the hood down. I've seen some folks tape from the bumper up the hood and wind tore it off. :D

i wasn't thinking about that when i did it, but yeah, i did it from the top down. i heard some people also do it vertically but that sounds like more work with the shape of our bumper.

kenchan 09-25-2009 07:25 PM

yah, I wouldn't do it vertically either.

Good job on the taping. :)

Oh man, I miss HHN in O-town. I went to college in DB so it was just a short trip to get there. Good times! :D

I would tape further up the hood. I have a few stone chips higher than where you taped it.
