Default Trying to protect the front end while moving

Pulling my ZR on a U-haul trailer and was looking for that blue tape that I see people use at Auto cross events. Anyone know where I can pick some up? Looking to cover the front end and the windshield/mirrors.

FYI, I do have a full clear bra!

Thanks.

I believe the blue tape is just 3M tape used when painting a house. You can get it at Home Depot or from any paint store

+1. Wal Mart also carries it. I used some this weekend, taking the Z to the IFO in San Antonio.

It's fine for the car, cover whatever you want in it.

Yup. It won't leave any sticky residue when you remove it either. The tape uses a very light adhesive.
