Someone will probably see him on the road, take a picture of it, and post it here as "spy shots of the next generation Z"!

welcome to Florida!
Be sure to visit the local club (see sig).

As for suggestions, painters tape should work.
Maybe you can saranwrap the whole front end, kinda like a cheapman's clear bra, lol. (j/k, don't know if this will work)

I'd get like 5 to be safe. They're like 89 cents a roll. LOL
Get A BUNCH in case you hit torrential downpours. It's known to rain a lot in Florida, especially in summer afternoons. I light rain won't bother it but the kind of rain we get here sometimes would take it right off.
