so im leaving south florida and heading back home to new york for a while.. instead of wasting money on shipping im driving my TL up for her first road trip



taped up the front to protect her pretty face


also took my meisters off for the drive and put on some powdercoated base TL wheels that i had on my accord




just a few shots for now, im sure ill have more once im back home so expect updates

I'm not sure if that's a good idea with that masking tape. Its fine when on a cold car but hot then cold, some of that glue from the masking tape might stick to the hood and then by cleaning it you could do more damage... I don't know, just a thought.

As long as that's painter's tape it should be okay. Have fun OP! Hell of a drive! There's nothing like the looks you receive on the interstate when you have masking tape all over your car

As long as he does not leave it on too long he will fine, I did the same thing last summer when i drove from panama city to va. Just take it off once you get home.

i looked into those but from what i heard they eventually will mess up the paint due to uneven wear form thew sun :/

OneWickedTypeS

I was quoted 800.00 bucks when i bought the car...

dadon

this reminds me when I was 10, moms bought me a pair of Jordans and I put plastic bags over them cause it was raining and I didnt want to dirty them walking home. It was either that or walk barefoot, but I was in NYC so shopping bags it was.

overboard? yes! just like this lmao

SM, don't forget to tape up both side mirrors too!

Majofo

Have a safe trip! I'd rather put a bra on the car than tape it.

but as they say.. function > form

I did the trip last year. Took me 16 hours state line to state line. Made pretty good time :p I regret not taping up though, lots of chips and such

LasVegasTL

Did that once in Las Vegas heat. No problem peeling it off afterwards. People will look at you like you're crazy when you have painters tape on the front of your car lol
