Could'nt find protective wrap easily or cheap, SO I went with the blue stuff. Hauling the car to Florida, Hopefully this prevents some chips or scratches.
 


Wow, thats a **** load of tape, but I bet it works good!

When I go on road trips (Like I am here shortly) I use a car bra and at the edges I use this clear no residue tape and I add a few strips on the fenders and the mirrors and the front pillars, works great! My dad has been using the stuff for years and so have I.
 
i like it!!!! get a different color and do a flame job over the blue, or some racing stripes on the scoops:th_biggrin2:
 
good thing i read that, cause i thought u were gonna drive it w/ the windshield taped? look the F out!


now i understand.
 
Yea, the write up I seen for that, the guy went coast to coast and said he didn't have any chips or anything.
 
Also once on the trailer, he did the rear halves of the rims so if anything flew up and hit them they had some protection.

It took me about ten bucks in tape and it went pretty quick. I figured better safe than sorry. I have had too many crappy experiences hauling my cars in the past.

Freebeer187, Thanks man, yeah its the WS6 hood.

How much did it cost?

Mine is a ASCD hood but you cant buy from them anymore. Hood new was about 800 bucks plus shipping. I think it was 685 on sale at one time. The ASCD hood is a full functioning ram air hood. I was lucky and bought mine off a demodded car.
The duraflex hood is the only producer now as far as I know. I havent seen one and have no idea the quality or the functionality of that brand.
 


The wind from going down the road will cause the cover to flap and actually do more damage then leaving the car uncovered.

Exactly, I tried that with my T/A once and it beat the crap out of the car. Messed up the clear coat in many spots. Plus a quality car cover is expensive, why risk damaging it, or ruining it. I spent 10 bucks in tape and about 30 minutes of time. Also now I have the peace of mind that while I'm driving I know a cover isnt flapping around in the wind behind my moving truck.

Hmmm never thought of that.

I know I didnt either until it was too late. I wanted to kick my own ass LOL
I also wondered why people were looking so hard at the car in tow. I figured they were just trying to figure out what was under the cover. Nice how nobody waved to me or tried to signal me there was any kind of issue. :th_shakinghead2:
