I gave colts shit about the tape, cause I figured it was just painters tape, until I was at autozone two nights ago and saw green auto tape!! I started cracking up and everyone in the store thought I was crazy but yeah... long story short. Autozone.

It is paint tape that I get actually but its automotive paint tape. You can let it on the car for up to seven days and it doesnt leave any residue. I have had a small bit of residue over the engine when i did the hood and I do the entire hood now since i have the cf hood. that small bit of residue comes of with 3m adheasive remover which does not harm the paint.

And when did autozone start carrying it that is awesome. i always got it from my local place that sells automotive paint.

Everyone that mods there car should invest in that tape.

I also found out the other day that the largest sheet of clear bra you can get just covers the entire tsx hood so I will be doing that to the carbon fiber hood so you can cut it at the corners and will never know I put it on.

Yes.......the kit I bought was only for the mirrors and front bumper, not the hood. Same price but different dealer. The material was not that bad. But the fitment is a pain in the ass. I tried one mirror and could not get it to fit over the curvature. Don't waste your money or time on this. My

Did you use a hair dryer to make it fit the contour? The EBay instructions say that you can use a hair dryer to heat up any contour problems. I assume this will heat up the clear plastic and will shrink any areas that pooch up.

nope tape only comes in green in 3 inch wide and blue in 2 inch wide. takes less time to tape the car using the 3 inch obviously so that is what I use.

Wish it could be that easy with the damn touch up paint.....
Most of the time color appereance doesn't match.....
What CC is doing is a smart thing to do while taking a long trip...
But then again it takes a long time to wrap them up......
