Haha every time this thread gets bumped I see the pictures and can't help but think your car's wearing a giant painter's tape condom.

Love the dedication to car! And nice to hear how pleasant long road trips are in the 2IS.

Dedication! I love it! Did you make sure to keep the tape aerodynamic by starting towards the rear of the car and overlapping so the seams were away from the wind? This would help it stay on longer. Just a thought... =)

No way... lol that looks ridiculious and cars are meant to be driven/age over time (rock chips, bugs, dings, etc)

Aeredynamic tape I just layed it out flat in strips, from bottom to top, most of it was stuck on pretty good till it started raining during the trip

I know cars are meant to be driven over time and wear. It's not like the tape is on there all the time, i just put it down cuz i knew for sure i'd get rock chips on the way to norcal and back, why not prevent it?! Half an hour and ~$5 in tape is all it took. I plan on keeping the car till it can't roll any more, might as well keep it as clean and undamaged as i reasonably can.

We all have different levels of dedication and "analness" with our cars
