looks great with tape,
wrap the the 15 inches before the rear wheel wells, after the door

Golden3ye · 06-22-2012, 01:13 AM

I taped my car for a road trip once. it flew off not 20 miles in lol. i didn't do a great job i guess.

I personally think this is kinda pointless...youre going to pick up more rock chips driving around town than on the highway...

I agree - I cannot understand why one would bother to do this.

I like that you wrapped the front end in tape for protection to avoid chips and scratches, yet tossed the bag of supplies and roll of tape on the exposed part of the hood.

YoungGuns · 06-30-2012, 11:36 AM

ec1c173 · 07-14-2012, 01:41 AM

were you around monterey park last night?

t02t · 07-17-2012, 12:44 AM

Finally got wifi after 3 weeks of waiting..AT&T efficiency.
Pics to come soon, nothing too great tho

ec1c173
yes i was probably there that night cant remember now lol

t02t · 07-17-2012, 02:32 AM

Excuse the not so car related pics / mediocre pictures

Driving down to Seattle from Vancouver, BC

guy's "steelies" had a wood finish..nice to get a friendly wave from another car guy even though we drive different cars

First traffic jam in USA, wasted about an hour travelling less than 10 miles

First stop was Portland, OR! Didn't snap much here unfortunately

Enroute to Crescent City, CA the next day
Passed by really remote villages and drew way too much attention with my blue tape(which I took off the following day)

Beach at Crescent City

Road to SF(might have mixed up some pics.. Memory card gone weird and lost some pics too..)

Traffic before golden gate bridge

This is for a friend

Happened to be in SF during the Pride parade, lots of crazy-ly dressed, half naked, fully naked people walking around

Fisherman's Wharf

Road to LA, but first paid a visit to Vishnu's secret hide out
REALLY nice neighbourhood, and thanks again for all their help!

And finally dinner at West Covina..

Currently staying in DTLA, was an interesting drive but I can't see myself driving back up again any time soon. Hope to see some socal people soon!
