I wouldnt realy worry about it that much. There's not really agoodway to completely protectyour car. That being said, just keep a nice coat of wax on, and wash it as soon as you can aftewords, andput baking soda in your wash mix, bugs and stff should come right off.

If you guys are going to wrap the front end, just be careful to cut out openings for the grille so air can get to the radiator. It would be a shame to overheat on the way to a show.

If you can spare parting with $130, get the bra from Ford. I picked one up a couple of days before my road trip through Illinois. It fit like a glove and there was no flapping or paint scratches whatsoever. I couldn't believe the number of bugs plastered on it. I just took it off and the bugs wiped off the vinyl with a damp cloth.
I was pleasantly surprised that you could not see the hood part from the driver's seat.

no tape
Use Static Cling Window Tint, available at most auto stores. if you have a black or alloy it works well. just spray some water and put it where you want. Great on front and rear bumper covers

Erik, I use painters tape on my bumper all the time, IF I'm doing a long highway road trip (Carlisle to home, several hours). Its saves the paint from bugs, stones, you name it. I also used it on my chin spoiler when it was freshly painted, as they tend to be "rock magnets", since they sit so low. I never cared who saw the tape on the car. All I know, is I didn't have to worry about constant trips to the body shop for touch ups.
