roughly how expensive does the 3m painters tape cost? so far its 3 cars driveing up and down so we're looking 4 something decent but not 2 expensive since we need it 4 the drive and down, also how much would a roll b able 2 cover? like how many car's front bumpers grill and front part of hoods?

Neo is very good at finding archived pics. The one he posted was the pic I took when I picked up my wifes (INDGOGRL) new car up from LA and drove 400 miles back home. No damage at all. You gotta use the painters BLUE tape, no other masking tape works as well for the heat from the engine and the hot Florida sun. A 2 inch wide roll from Home depot costs roughly $5-6. One roll per car going both ways .
This trick is practiced by many show cars and I wouldn't be surprised if you see other cars rolling into HIN doing the same thing.
Good Luck at HIN.

Lol... That looks funny but is a great idea. For my Saleen I have the 3M clear bra but I know you want temp. The painters tape is a good idea.
