Dude,

I may be wrong but that tape is not going to protect your car from a rock slamming into your car. Bugs yes, rocks no.

Maybe you should tape the windshield to protect the glass too. Just Kidding

At first I thought you had a spy shot of an '09 TL. But the tape thing is a pretty good idea.

Wow is right. I saw a Mexican do that once and I was on there for over a month. It looked like a Jalopino.

I applaud your efforts but honestly, get the clear bra. Combine all of your mods that you have on your TL and that won't equal near the value of having the clear ba on the front end, BELIEVE me! Take a look...

My Dad's TL with about 55,000 miles on it. He just spent over $2200 getting the entire front end repainted and put a bra on... you be the judge.


I put the bra on my TSX and with it having 50,000 miles on it now, it is still flawless.

I think it's a great idea for long trips and like someone said they use it at auto-x events too. Definitely get the clear bra if you're going to be making the trip a bunch of times.
