Painters tape from any hardware store. I found its not really worth the time though.

Ya, any hardware store...but don't buy anything smaller than the 2"...it'll be too hard to put on.

***strutking*** · 01-08-2008, 02:38 AM

clear bra?

***06GAsi*** · 01-08-2008, 02:41 AM

Dupli-color make a spray on bra. Give that a shot. You just wash it off. Lay it on thick.

yeah dude imo not worth it... like they said a clear bra will do the same thing... and honestly... you look retarded with your bumper covered in tape... like i said IMO... and it doesn't really do a whole hell of a lot... three hours later... still going to get chips

Is it really necessary to tape THAT high up? I was planning on going about half that high when I take my car to it's first track event.

***chrisfrofro*** · 01-09-2008, 12:22 AM

i plan on taping at my first event and on any long trip to keep bugs to a minimum.. those bitches are hard to get off

fg2!kid · 01-09-2008, 01:26 AM

ill just be taping my head light on my track day

Jardiniboy · 01-09-2008, 01:28 AM

I would tape the headlights and tape the bottom half of the bumper because you might hit cones which could scratch your bumper.

I thought the whole point in taping headlights was so that if you hit someone while doing a road course race, hopefully the tape would prevent the glass from your headlights getting all over the track. I don't see how you could damage your headlights in autox...

Again, I don't see why you would tape your headlights for autox. The only part of your car I can understand taping for autox would be the bottom half of your bumper like how you said, because of the cones....

I have clear Bra and I still use the blue take, Its just the Oh Shit, I am a Idiot driver insurance.

civicsi52 · 01-09-2008, 08:27 AM

Wow! that looks like a lot of work to tape the bumpers. After painting my house, I hate painters tape! I don't mind a few scratches from cones. They're like battle wounds. Chicks dig scares, right?

the track i will be driving on is in the desert so iam sure there will be rocks on the track and if some one is in front of me i dont want rocks hitting my lights

sick06si · 01-11-2008, 10:45 PM

Cones have never left a scratch on any of my cars. Maybe some orange scuffs that rub off, but that's about it.

Check out some of the forums for autox, etc. and see what others are doing in your area. Some lots are worse than others.

Some of those pictures though, I don't care what kind of lot it is, are a little excessive, haha.
