Glad you made it safely, Did you notice any damage from rock to the painter's tape?

I definitely did, especially on the passenger side front hood area. Part of the tape was marred by a rock. I highly recommend taping the entire front end before doing any road trip from now on. Including A pillars and part of the roof. Fenders are pretty pristine, to my surprise. But definitely full hood and full bumper... and side mirrors. Notes for next time...
