that's at the end of the list
when I finish paying for my car and adding some more stuff (exhaust, suspension, TT, etc) I'll get the whole thing repainted. I got a couple other chips around the body that I would like to see gone and I prefer to do the whole car at once so I know the paint matches

It did fine in hot weather, but rain makes it come off slightly
just remember to layer the tape so that its not going against the airflow. For example, layer it from the back to the front so that the edge of the tape is facing back, not the front. If you're driving from San Jose to Vegas, you don't really have to worry too much about rock chips, just don't tailgate any trucks. The tape however is cheap insurance, I didn't really want to shell out the cash for a car-bra. If you're really **** about the paint on your car, get a bra.

Well since I had extra tape left over...I thought I'd get creative :-)
I'm debadged on the rear so I also put a blue "R" where the badges used to be. Man I got some funny looks on that trip. I wish I had taken pictures.
