I drove from San Diego to Virginia in my IS-F and not one rock chip! Drive it like you stole it I say, who needs to throw down for clear bra, or 3m nonsense. After five years, just throw down a grand and get the car resprayed in front and you will have a brand new car!

Wow...that's nuts. Be careful with the tape on the lip.. if it comes off and makes its way into your brakes, it's gonna get messy!

Did you wrap the car to protect it during the trip?

For sure you are going to be noticed! You might be the only one in this country going crazy like this...

That is incredible! And if you let your eyes relax a bit, it looks like the car is covered in blue Crisco.

I wonder if the tape on your wheel lip will throw off the wheel balance at higher speeds. Be careful and goodluck!
